What does metered mail look like

Metered mail, also known as metered postage, is a type of postage that is printed on an envelope or package using a postage meter machine. The machine prints the postage amount, the date, and the sender's address on the mailpiece.

Here's what metered mail typically looks like:

  1. Postage amount: The postage amount is printed in the top right corner of the envelope or package, usually in a rectangular box or a circular stamp.
  2. Date: The date of mailing is printed below the postage amount, usually in a smaller font.
  3. Sender's address: The sender's address is printed above the postage amount, usually in a larger font.
  4. Meter number: The meter number, which is a unique identifier assigned to the postage meter machine, is usually printed in the bottom right corner of the envelope or package.
  5. Postage meter logo: Some postage meter machines have a logo or a symbol printed on the mailpiece, which indicates that the postage was printed using a metered postage machine.

Here's an example of what metered mail might look like:

[Top right corner] $2.50 [Date] 02/15/2023

[Sender's address] John Doe 123 Main St Anytown, USA 12345

[Bottom right corner] Meter Number: 123456 [Postage meter logo]

Keep in mind that the appearance of metered mail can vary depending on the type of postage meter machine used and the specific design of the mailpiece.
