DIGITAL MAILING SERVICES
We prefer your names and addresses in a digital format instead of on
plain paper or peel off labels. We will process your file (on diskette,
by e-mail or copied into our outsiders folder), do address
correction and print the "label" directly on your mail piece with
the POSTNET barcode This could save you $50 - $90 per thousand
for qualifying pieces (sent standard mail). If you have any
questions, please call us at 803-777-2244 or e-mail us at
standardmail@printing.sc.edu and we will be happy to help you plan
your mailing.
NOTE: All Student mail must be submitted in P.O. Box
order.

Standard Mail processing is a cooperative venture between the
University's Standard Mail Department and the U.S. Postal Service.
Standard Mail has two ways of charging postage: the indicia
(permit box), which is printed in the upper right hand corner on the
piece, or metering, which means using a meter machine to print the
postage on each piece.
Standard Mail has two different rate structures:
Non-Profit Rate must follow all rules to qualify.
- Must have University of South Carolina on top line in return
address
- Must contain University business only
- No sponsors or advertising of any kind
- No joint ventures with outside companies

The indicia must contain all information shown on sample below! |
