• DO NOT USE CLASP-TYPE ENVELOPES FOR U.S. MAIL. 
• Overlap flaps (flaps straight up) for all legal and letter-size envelopes. Rubber band all bundles. 
• Seal flaps for all large white envelopes. 
• Fit all contents in envelope so that flaps will close. 
• To avoid higher postage costs when mailing 6 or more sheets of paper, fold pages in half, insert into a 6” x 9” envelope (material number 3100632210, item B on page 296) to qualify for letter rate postage, and seal flap. Overstuffing a legal size #10 envelope will result in higher postage rates due to exceeding the maximum 0.25” thickness restriction for letter rate. 
• The USPS prefers the use of white instead of manila or kraft envelopes for optimal processing of mail. Please see page 296, item B of Office Essentials to order white mailing envelopes.
• For additional instructions, please go to the Mail Unit link from the Procurement Services Division website at http://achieve.lausd.net/psd and download the latest “How to Send Mail Through LAUSD” User Guide.
