Resources for the mailing industry

Producing labels requires some familiarity with USPS rules and mailing-industry

practices. If you are new to the industry, refer to these sources:

 U.S. Postal Service. The U.S. Postal Service offers many helpful

publications. Ask your postmaster or USPS account representative about

these publications.

 Domestic Mail Manual (DMM). We recommend that you purchase a

subscription to the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), the official source of

mailing rules. You don’t have to read the DMM to run Label Studio, but if

you ever have a problem in mail acceptance, or otherwise need to know the

mailing rules, you will be glad to have your DMM handy.

 USPS Bulletins. You may also want to subscribe to the USPS Postal Bulletin

and the Mailroom Companion.

 Postal Explorer. Visit the Postal Explorer web site at http://pe.usps.gov. This

web site is a virtual library of postal information provided by the USPS. It

includes an electronic copy of the DMM.
