Addressing Guidelines

The following is an example of how to correctly address a mail piece:

• Type of machine-print in dark ink on a light background with a uniform left margin
• Use uppercase characters through the address
• Left-justify every line in the address block
• Use two-letter state abbreviations
• Use one space between city and state, two spaces between state and ZIP+4 code
• Use appropriate ZIP+4 code (if unknown, use 5-digit ZIP code)
