A mail tag!

A mail tag is a small paper or plastic tag attached to a piece of mail, typically a letter or package, to identify its destination and any special handling instructions. Here are some common types of mail tags:

1. Address label: A pre-printed label with the recipient's address, used to identify the destination of the mail.
2. Return address label: A label with the sender's return address, used to facilitate return of undeliverable mail.
3. Special handling tag: A tag indicating special handling instructions, such as "Fragile," "Do Not Bend," or "Signature Required."
4. Priority tag: A tag indicating that the mail is a priority item, such as "Express Mail" or "Overnight Delivery."
5. Restricted delivery tag: A tag indicating that the mail can only be delivered to the recipient in person, with a signature required.

Mail tags are an essential part of the mail processing system, helping to ensure that mail is delivered efficiently and accurately to its intended destination.
