How many stamps to mail a small padded envelope
The number of stamps needed to mail a small padded envelope depends on the weight and size of the envelope, as well as the destination and type of mail service used. Here are some general guidelines:
- For a small padded envelope weighing up to 1 ounce (28 grams), you may need:
- 1 first-class stamp (currently $0.55) for domestic mail (within the United States)
- 1 international first-class stamp (currently $1.20) for international mail
- For a small padded envelope weighing 1-2 ounces (28-57 grams), you may need:
- 2 first-class stamps (currently $1.10) for domestic mail

Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and the actual postage required may vary depending on the specific dimensions and weight of your envelope. You can use the USPS Postage Calculator tool to get an accurate estimate of the postage needed for your specific envelope.
It's also worth noting that if your envelope is oversized or has unusual dimensions, you may need to use a larger envelope or a different type of mail service, such as Priority Mail. In these cases, you may need to consult with a postal worker or use the USPS website to determine the correct postage.
