NonProfit Mail

As a nonprofit organization, we are entitled to significant mailing discounts. A nonprofit mailpiece is essentially a standard mailpiece with a permit imprint indicia printed onto each piece.

Qualify for Discounts

To qualify for presorted mailing discounts, your mailpiece must meet certain guidelines set by the USPS. Generally speaking, your piece must meet size restrictions (length, width, and thickness), weight restrictions, and design/layout restrictions. A helpful tool for designing your mailpiece is the Business Mail 101 portion of the USPS website.
