Can media mail be sent in a uline envelope
According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), Media Mail can be sent in a USPS-approved envelope or package, but it must meet certain requirements.
Here are the guidelines:
- Envelope size: Media Mail can be sent in a envelope that meets the following size requirements:
- Rectangular envelopes: at least 5 inches long, 3.5 inches high, and 0.007 inch thick.
- Square envelopes: at least 5 inches per side.
- Weight: The envelope or package must weigh less than 70 pounds.
- Content: Media Mail is for sending printed materials, such as books, CDs, DVDs, and other educational materials. It cannot be used for sending merchandise, personal items, or hazardous materials.
- Labeling: The envelope or package must be clearly marked with the words "Media Mail" or "USPS Media Mail" in red ink or red tape.
As for Uline envelopes, they are a popular choice for shipping and mailing, but they may not be specifically designed for Media Mail. However, if you use a Uline envelope that meets the USPS size and weight requirements, you can still use it for Media Mail.
