• Package dimensions (if applicable)
• Shipping service (e.g., First Class, Priority Mail, Parcel Post)
• Postage amount (calculated using USPS postage calculator or online shipping software)

Step 2: Create the mailing label

• Open a word processing or text editor program on your computer.
• Type the recipient's name and address on the label, using the following format:
  • Name: [Recipient's Name]
  • Address: [Street Address]
  • City, State, Zip: [City], [State] [Zip Code]
• If applicable, add the package weight and dimensions below the address.
• Add the shipping service and postage amount below the package information.

Example:

[Recipient's Name]
[Street Address]
[City], [State] [Zip Code]

Package Weight: [Weight]
Package Dimensions: [Length] x [Width] x [Height]

Shipping Service: [Service Name]
Postage: [Postage Amount]

Step 3: Print the mailing label

• Print the label on the USPS-approved mailing label paper using your printer.
• Make sure to print in a font that is at least 8 points in size and in a clear, legible font (e.g., Arial, Helvetica).

Step 4: Affix the mailing label

• Peel the backing off the label and stick it to the package.
• Make sure the label is centered and secure.

Additional tips:

• Use a USPS-approved mailing label paper to ensure compliance with USPS regulations.
• Keep a copy of the mailing label for your records.
• Make sure to affix the correct postage amount to the label.
• If you're shipping a package that requires special handling (e.g., hazardous materials, perishable items), follow USPS guidelines for special handling procedures.

By following these steps, you can create a mailing label that meets USPS requirements and ensures your package is delivered efficiently and effectively.
