below the sender’s name. - Write the sender’s city, state, and ZIP code on the line below the street address.

same line as the street address. - Double check the address for accuracy before mailing the envelope.
- Make sure that the writing is legible and clear enough to be read by the post office.

How to Properly Affix Stamps to Your Mail
- First, determine the weight and size of your mail piece. The weight and size will
determine the amount of postage required. - Purchase the appropriate amount of postage stamps from the post office.
- Place the stamps on the upper right corner of the envelope or package, making sure
that they are facing the correct way and are not upside down. - If you are using multiple stamps, arrange them in a neat and orderly manner, making
sure that the denomination of each stamp is visible. - If you are using a metered postage or a postage meter, it should be placed on the
top right corner of the envelope or package. - Double-check the address and postage before mailing your mail piece, to ensure that
it gets delivered to the correct address.
It’s also important to note that if you are mailing a package, you may need additional
labelling, such as a customs form or a shipping label, depending on the destination and
contents of the package.
