Stamp first class mail

To stamp first-class mail, you'll need to affix the correct postage to the envelope or package. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Determine the weight and size of the mailpiece: Check the weight and size of the envelope or package to determine the correct postage.
2. Check the postage rates: Visit the United States Postal Service (USPS) website or consult a postage rate chart to determine the current postage rates for first-class mail.
3. Choose the correct postage type: First-class mail has different rates for letters, large envelopes, and packages. Make sure to choose the correct postage type for your mailpiece.
4. Affix the postage: Use a postage stamp or a postage meter to affix the correct postage to the mailpiece. You can also use a postage scale to weigh and print the postage.
5. Ensure the postage is legible: Make sure the postage is clearly visible and legible. If the postage is not legible, the USPS may not accept the mailpiece.

Here are some general guidelines for first-class mail postage rates:

• Letters (1 oz or less): $0.55
• Large Envelopes (1 oz or less): $0.95
• Flats (1 oz or less): $1.20
• Packages (1 oz or less): $3.50

Note: These rates are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check the USPS website for the most up-to-date rates.

Remember to also check for any additional fees or surcharges, such as extra postage for oversized or irregularly shaped mailpieces.
