If you'll be printing a mailing label, you can use that instead of a separate address label.

Usps weight measure. How is the size and weight of a parcel determined? Width is the remaining side that is also perpendicular to the length and is measured in inches. Except for usps retail ground and parcel select, no mailpiece may measure more than 108 inches in length and girth combined.

Packages can be up to 150 lbs. The shipment dimensions will affect the cost of the shipment, so accurate measurements are important. I worked in data collection for 8 years at the postal service where we collected data on the mail.

Packages can be up to 108 inches long. • one cubic foot = 12″ l x 12″ w x 12″ h = 1,728 cubic inches. Maximum sizes and weights for usps services domestic services:

22″ x 18″ x 15″ for boxes. Carrier route, automation, and machinable nonautomation letters can weigh up to 3.5 ounces and you pay the same postage whether your piece is 1 ounce or 3.5 ounces. • all flat rate (priority mail and express mail) boxes are exempt from dim weight.

Multiply length x width x height. Package your item (for help with this, see our packaging guide ) measure your final packaged item (l x w x h inches) weigh. It still needs to meet the proper guidelines for the rate class it is being.

Finally, calculate the dim weight by using the usps dimensional weight formula, which is l x w x h/166. The address format for a box is the same as for envelopes. At least 3 inches high x 6 inches long x 1/4 inch thick.
