USPS® Direct Mail Templates
Download print-ready templates pre-formatted to USPS automation specifications. Each template includes proper barcode clear zones, address block positioning, and bleed areas.
These templates are used by businesses of all sizes running direct mail campaigns — from local retailers to nonprofits qualifying for reduced nonprofit postage rates. If you're not sure which size fits your budget, check our letter automation rates guide before you design.
What's included in every template
Every template is built to USPS automation specifications and exported in press-ready PDF format with CMYK color mode, proper bleed areas, and designated zones for barcode placement and address block positioning. Files are compatible with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. Postcard and flat templates are sized to meet USPS aspect ratio requirements, keeping your piece machinable and avoiding the nonmachinable surcharge. Need help with layout or artwork? Our graphic design team can customize any template for your campaign, and our commercial printing services produce press-ready pieces on the stock and finish you need.
