How to label a priority mail envelope

To label a Priority Mail envelope, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Address the Envelope

Write the recipient's address in the top left corner of the envelope, using the correct format:

• Name
• Street Address or PO Box
• City, State, and ZIP Code

Step 2: Add the Return Address

In the top right corner of the envelope, write your return address:

• Your name
• Street Address or PO Box
• City, State, and ZIP Code

Step 3: Add the Priority Mail Label

You can purchase Priority Mail labels at a post office or online. If you're using a pre-paid label, simply peel off the backing and stick it to the top center of the envelope. If you're using a plain label, write the following information:

• "Priority Mail"
• Your return address (same as Step 2)
• The recipient's address (same as Step 1)
• The weight and dimensions of the package (if applicable)
• The postage amount (if you're paying with cash or credit card)

Step 4: Add Any Additional Information

You can add any additional information to the label, such as:

• A tracking number (if you're using a tracking label)
• A signature confirmation request (if you want the recipient to sign for the package)
• Any special handling instructions (e.g. "Fragile" or "Do Not Bend")

Step 5: Affix the Label

Stick the label to the envelope, making sure it's centered and secure.

Tips and Reminders

• Make sure to use the correct postage amount for the weight and size of your package.
• Use a permanent marker to write on the label, as it will be harder to read if it's written in pencil.
• Keep a copy of the label and the recipient's address for your records.
• If you're shipping a package that requires special handling, such as hazardous materials or perishable items, you may need to use a special label or follow additional procedures.

By following these steps, you'll be able to properly label your Priority Mail envelope and ensure it reaches its destination quickly and efficiently.
