How to use it
- Before design: check the size and the indicia and address areas.
- Before printing: check the weight with a printed sample, not the paper spec.
- Before drop-off: check the bundles, facing slips and paperwork.
The sheet shows the date it was checked. If USPS has changed prices since then, the postage line is the one to update.
