address format usps

Where should a postal address be placed?
Be placed in the upper portion of the flat (upper portion is defined as the top half of the mailpiece). May be placed parallel to the top edge, but not upside down. May be placed perpendicular to the top—near or at the open or bound edge. Place the address as close to the top edge as possible, while maintaining a 1/8-inch clearance from every edge.
What is a simplified address format?
Simplified addressing: The simplified address format, “Postal Customer” (see 602.3.2.1a. for optional formats), may be used when general distribution is requested to each boxholder or family on a rural route or highway contract route at any post office or to each Post Office boxholder at a Post Office without city carrier service.
How do you address a mailpiece?
The following guidelines for addressing a mailpiece are in USPS Publication 28, Postal Addressing Standards: Use simple sans serif type with uniform stroke thickness. Type or machine-print in dark ink on a light background with a uniform left margin. Left-justify every line in the address block. Use two-letter state abbreviations.
How do I know if my address is directional?
Words like "east" and "west" are called directionals and they are VERY important. A missing or a bad directional can prevent your mail from being delivered correctly. Use the free ZIP Code Lookup and the ZIP+4 code lookup on the Postal Explorer website (left frame) to find the correct ZIP Codes and ZIP+4 codes for your addresses.
