    • 6 3/4 (4 1/2" x 6 1/2")

  2. Write the recipient's address:

    • Include the following information:
      • Recipient's name
      • Street address or PO box number
      • City, state, and zip code

    • If you're sending a package, you may need to include additional information such as:
      • Package weight and dimensions
      • Special handling instructions (e.g., "Fragile" or "Do Not Bend")
  4. Add a return address (optional):
    • If you want to include a return address, write your own name and address on the top right corner of the envelope.
    • This is useful if you're sending a package and want to ensure it can be returned to you if it's undeliverable.
  5. Affix a stamp (if applicable):
    • If you're sending a letter or package, you'll need to affix a stamp to the top right corner of the envelope.
    • Make sure to use the correct postage for the weight and size of your mailpiece.
  6. Seal the envelope:
    • Fold the envelope flap over the contents and moisten the glue strip with your finger or a damp cloth.
    • Press the flap down firmly to seal the envelope.
  7. Final check:
    • Double-check that you've included all necessary information and that the envelope is properly sealed.
    • Make sure the stamp is affixed correctly and that the envelope is addressed correctly.

That's it! Your mail envelope is now ready to be sent.
