Mailing indicia size
The size of a mailing indicia, also known as a postage meter stamp or franking mark, can vary depending on the country and the type of mail being sent. However, here are some general guidelines on the typical size of mailing indicia:
- In the United States, the USPS (United States Postal Service) recommends that postage meter stamps be at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) square, but no larger than 2 inches (5.08 cm) square.
- In Canada, Canada Post recommends that postage meter stamps be at least 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) square, but no larger than 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) square.

It's worth noting that these are general guidelines, and the actual size of a mailing indicia may vary depending on the specific requirements of the postal service and the type of mail being sent.

In general, it's a good idea to check with the postal service or the manufacturer of your postage meter to determine the recommended size of the mailing indicia for your specific needs.
