3. Research current packaging supplies and their usage, including how employees use different types of mailers. For instance, beginning in May, mailing letters and brochures in flat 9x12" envelopes instead of #10 envelopes simply for aesthetic appeal will cost an additional $0.20 per piece.
4. Replace inefficient packaging with USPS-friendly mailers. Boxes are among the worst offenders, since they automatically classify as parcels, take up more storage space than envelopes and require additional fulfillment costs for assembly and packing. Padded mailers are also inherently ineffective under the new system due to their thickness. Replacing these types of items with automation-friendly mailers, like paperboard envelopes, will encourage more efficient mail habits and minimize postage costs.
