Discounts
Pre-sort first class mail discounts are available for departments with Mail Center meter accounts. Current charges offer a savings of $0.03 per piece on one- and two-ounce letters.
By combining mail with that of other departments, Seahawk Mail is able to
generate volumes sufficient for pre-sort discounts. The Mail Center meters
letter mail at the pre-sort first class rate. The mail is picked up each
day by a pre-sort vendor, which prepares and barcodes the mail for U.S. Postal
Service automation and delivers the mail directly to the U.S. Postal Service.
In order to take advantage of the discount, the only preparation necessary
by the department is to comply with the addressing requirements.
Addressing Requirements
- Addresses must be machine printed; NO handwritten addresses.
- PRINTING WITH ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IS PREFERRED.

typeface

10 CPI preferred.
