How should I lay out a piece to comply with USPS mailing regulations?

We offer a number of postcard templates that come with postal instructions and guides. In addition, we recommend that you make sure that the mailing side of your job is the back (page 2 of your .pdf ) and you order your job as a UV 1 Side or AQ 1 Side job – this will help ensure your mailing goes smoothly, avoiding ink-jetting complications ,or the neccesity of applying labels to your job to mail. Templates can be found at http://www.jrshandlingprintingservices.com/helpcenter under the product template menu – you can download them from here, and use them as a guide, as you design your mail piece.
