Guidelines for machine printing addresses
Generally, the MLOCR can read most typed and printed upper and lower case letters and numerals, provided that the type is clear and sharp and the characters do not touch or overlap. Australia Post prefers upper case printing to be used. Black print is preferred, however dark colours are acceptable. All lines of the address must be left justified. auspost.com.au
Punctuation in Address.
Punctuation in the address proper should be avoided. Punctuation in the “name line” and the use of - and / to separate defined address elements is acceptable. auspost.com.au
Correct Addressing.
For specific information on correct addressing, including colours, envelope requirements, window panel requirements, hand-addressing requirements etc., please refer to Australia Post Correct Addressing Guidelines and the appropriate section of the Letter Post and Electronic Mail Post Guide. auspost.com.au
