Stamps & Mailing Letters

Updated: Mar 28, 2023

Here are a few things to keep in mind when mailing letters in the US with USPS for your business.


Envelope Sizing

To be considered a letter size, the envelope must fit these requirements. It must also be rectangular. If you want to mail a square envelope, it will cost more.



Types of Stamps

Most people now use Forever stamps to mail letters. This means you only have to use that 1 stamp to mail a letter within the US and its territories. If it is square, it will require 2. USPS still sells a variety of stamps at different prices, so you want to be sure it is a Forever stamp. They say Forever on the front instead of the price.


Another very useful stamp is their Global Forever stamp. This will cover the cost of any letter sent around the world. This is nice to have if you sell small items like stickers internationally. It also saves you money compared to using 4 forever stamps, which is more than the price to mail it.


In addition, they have special stamps for postcards that are cheaper than Forever stamps. You might want these to mail shop updates to fans like on Patreon.


USPS also offers Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express stamps to mail letters faster. This is very expensive, and I wouldn't recommend using it.


USPS partners with PhotoStamps, where you can order stamps with your own custom photo or design. These are more expensive than getting ones by USPS, but it can be a really great way to brand your mail and stand out.
