Follow these guidelines to correctly prepare folded self-mailers.

When mailing a folded product, the fold must always be at the bottom of the mailing panel. For tri-folds, the mailing information must be on the middle panel, with the OPEN edge at the top. Contact us for details on how to save on postage costs with a layout that complies with USPS automation.
