First-Class Mail®

Shape-based pricing, which was introduced in 2007, is still in effect—which means the shape and format of your mailpiece will have a significant impact on your cost.

With no increase in the cost of each additional ounce, you can offset rising costs by putting more into each and every communication.

Converting flat mail to letter-size mail is one of the easiest ways to cut costs and mitigate the effects of the rate increase.

Creating mail that can be easily processed on USPS® machines can save you even more under the current rate structure.

Keeping your mailpieces less than or equal to 3.5 ounces will help you avoid more costly flat-rate pricing.

These highly targeted mailings can keep you top-of-mind at lower costs.

A simple presort can practically offset the impact of the rate increase.

Comply with all Move Update standards and avoid paying more for postage.

Mailers can save more than 6% on the cost of postage through the Pitney Bowes Presort Services.
