LAYOUTS

SUGGESTED LAYOUT FOR CARD


ALWAYS DESIGN ANY SIZE MAILER WITH A BLANK SPACE IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER 2" HIGH BY 4" WIDE


SUGGESTED LAYOUT FOR FOLDED MAILERS


When designing a folded mailer, always start by placing the postal permit in the Upper right corner.
That way, there is no possible chance the piece will be folded incorrectly.






**All mailers should be folded on bottom with opening on the top**



**ALL MAILERS SHOULD HAVE THE LOWER RIGHT (2" X 4") BLANK**

ALL BOOKLETS WITH BOUND (SADDLE STITCHED) EDGE MUST HAVE BINDING ON LONGEST SIDE ON BOTTOM

ALL FOLDED MAILERS MUST HAVE GLUED OR WAFER SEALED CLOSURES
