The Mailpiece Quality Control (MQC) Program is the Postal Service's certification program for mailpiece design. The program has been updated with new DMM 300 references. The course is designed for individuals responsible for creating mailpieces for entry into the U.S. Postal Service's mailstream. After completing this course, you will better understand the acceptance requirements of the USPS as they relate to mailpiece design.

The Postal Service is providing the following “decision tree” as an aid to evaluate whether a mailpiece is eligible as Standard Mail or is required to be sent as First-Class Mail.
