Envelope layout standards

for machinable and manually-sorted mail

Your mail piece must meet the envelope layout standards by 1 July 2008 - whether for our machinable bulk mail products or our non-machinable bulk mail products.

The envelope layout standards govern the size, layout and construction of mail pieces and have been introduced to ensure that your mail items are processed with maximum efficiency.

We've now updated the envelope layout standards user guide to make it easier to follow. And we've split it into two separate downloads:

You'll need these guides as a ready-reference tool when designing new envelopes or new mail pieces or when checking existing stock.

Don't forget if you need any assistance please ring 0800 501 501 or talk direct to your account manager.
