How to place certified mail receipt on envelope
To place a certified mail receipt on an envelope, follow these steps:
- Obtain a certified mail receipt: When you send a certified mail piece, you will receive a receipt from the post office. This receipt is usually a green card with a unique tracking number.
- Open the receipt: Carefully open the receipt to reveal the adhesive strip on the back.
- Peel off the backing: Peel off the backing of the adhesive strip to expose the sticky side.
- Apply the receipt to the envelope: Place the receipt on the top right corner of the envelope, making sure it is centered and not overlapping any other information.
- Press down gently: Press the receipt down gently to ensure it adheres to the envelope.
- Verify the receipt is secure: Double-check that the receipt is securely attached to the envelope and won't come off during handling.
Tips:
- Make sure the receipt is applied to a flat, smooth area of the envelope to prevent it from wrinkling or creasing.
- Avoid applying the receipt to areas with raised printing or embossing, as it may not adhere properly.
- If you're using a window envelope, apply the receipt to the top right corner of the envelope, making sure it doesn't obstruct the window.
- Keep in mind that the receipt may not be removable without damaging the envelope, so handle it carefully.
By following these steps, you'll ensure that your certified mail receipt is securely attached to the envelope and can be easily verified by the recipient.
