  2. Large Envelopes: For larger envelopes (also known as flats), the cost of postage depends on the weight and size. A single Forever Stamp might not be enough, and you may need to add additional postage.
  3. Packages: For packages, the cost of postage depends on the weight, size, and distance being sent. You'll need to use a postage calculator or consult the USPS website to determine the correct postage.
