The size and shape of your mailpiece will affect the price you pay. This part of Business Mail 101 will help you design and create a mailpiece that will qualify for the best possible price.

TIP
-Before you proceed with printing your mailpiece, we strongly suggest that you take a mockup or sample of your mailpiece to your mailpiece design analyst[1] and make sure the mailpiece qualifies for the class of mail and postage price you want. Some up-front investigation could save you thousands of dollars in unplanned postage costs.
