Promotional Mailers | Self
Mailers | Continuous Multiple Part Mailers
There are many different types of mailers and
each type of mailer is available in a variety of sizes and styles. The mailer's
size limitations will depend on how it is manufactured and the size requirements
of the equipment used to imprint and personalize the mailer.
Promotional Mailers
Promotional mailers can be many different styles and sizes.
They can be a single sheet folded once or multiple times. They can also consist
of multiple sheets folded together. The only size limitations would be the minimum
and maximum mailing sizes set up by the United States Postal Service for the
type of mailing being used for the mailer. See the Postal
Regulations - Outgoing Mail.

|
Note: The finished
folded size of the mailer is what needs to meet the minimum
and maximum mailing size requirements.

Self Mailers
Self mailers can be manufactured as a one part
continuous or a single cut sheet product. Each will have different limitations
which are affected by the manufacturing and imprinting process. Mailers manufactured
as a continuous product will have to follow the same size guidelines as you
would on a continuous form. See Continuous
- Size for more details. Cut sheet mailers that will be processed through
a laser printer will have to follow the same size guidelines as you would for
laser forms. See Laser - Size.
