The USPS has implemented new address placement requirements for flat-size mail, effective March 29, 2009. These guidelines apply to various mail types including Periodicals, Standard Mail, Package Services, and more. Addresses must be positioned in the upper half of the mailpiece, readable from the top without being upside down. Compliance with these requirements will facilitate automation and carrier route processing, improving efficiency and reducing costs through technologies like Flat Sequence Sorting (FSS) that rapidly process flat-size mail.
