Shape of Things to Come

Today, postal issues must be considered at the earliest stages of the evolution of a mail piece. Postal automation-compatible mail has some very specific physical characteristic requirements, thus proper design is critical.

Not only will mail piece design become more critical next month, the quality of the address placed on the piece will have to meet stricter standards. Of particular note is the requirement to identify through Delivery Point Validation (DPV) whether or not the address on your mail piece exists in the USPS database.
