Mailing & Fulfillment Special Report — Mail Dynamics Equal Opportunities

The new pricing plan, in effect, creates an adjustable rate system by giving mailers the opportunity to obtain lower rates as they find ways to configure their mail into shapes that reduce processing costs for the Postal Service. For example, if the contents of a First Class flat can be folded and placed in a letter-sized envelope, the mailer can reduce the postage by as much as 20 cents per piece. If a First Class parcel can be configured as a flat, the mailer will save 36 cents.
