How to fill out a priority mail express envelope

To fill out a Priority Mail Express envelope, follow these steps:

Step 1: Address the Envelope

• Write the recipient's name and address on the front of the envelope in the top left corner. Make sure to use the correct format:
  • Recipient's name
  • Street address or post office box number
  • City, state, and ZIP code
  • Apartment or suite number (if applicable)
• Use a legible handwriting or print the address using a label maker.

Step 2: Add the Return Address

• In the top right corner of the envelope, write your return address in the same format as the recipient's address:
  • Your name
  • Street address or post office box number
  • City, state, and ZIP code
  • Apartment or suite number (if applicable)
• This is the address where the mail carrier will return the envelope if it cannot be delivered to the recipient.

Step 3: Add the Priority Mail Express Label

• Peel off the backing of the Priority Mail Express label and stick it to the top right corner of the envelope, overlapping the return address.
• Make sure the label is securely attached and not wrinkled or creased.

Step 4: Add the Endorsement

• In the top left corner of the envelope, write "Priority Mail Express" or "PMX" to indicate that it's a Priority Mail Express package.
• You can also add any additional endorsements, such as "Signature Required" or "Do Not Forward."

Step 5: Add Any Additional Information

• If you're sending a package that requires special handling, such as a fragile or hazardous material, you may need to add additional information or labels.
• Check the USPS website or consult with a postal worker if you're unsure about any specific requirements.

Step 6: Seal the Envelope

• Fold the envelope flap over and seal it with a piece of tape or a glue stick.
• Make sure the envelope is securely closed to prevent contents from spilling out during transit.

Step 7: Affix the Correct Postage

• Check the USPS website or consult with a postal worker to determine the correct postage for your Priority Mail Express package.
• Affix the postage to the upper right corner of the envelope, making sure it's securely attached and not wrinkled or creased.

That's it! Your Priority Mail Express envelope is now ready to be sent.
