Before the Postal Storm Hits...What to Do Now

Hayes’ Points

1. For conventional catalog sizes (the 8” x 10.5” family of “flats”), moving to a smaller trim size will save postage only if the catalog weighs more than 3.3 oz today, Hayes notes. There is no postage price break for flat mail that weighs less than 3.3 oz., “assuming that the trim size change keeps the catalog in the flats classification.”
