How Should I Design a Self-mailer That Measures 8.5" x 11"?

Self-mailers can be an excellent tool to use when trying to generate leads or to promote a product, service or special offer. With the help of a self-mailer, which is a mailing that doesn't require an envelope because it is completely self-contained, you can effectively get out your business or organization's message while keeping costs down. When creating your self-mailer design, however, you should keep a few things in mind in order to make the mailer both effective and cost-efficient.

Choose the Right Size for Your Self-Mailer

In order to keep the cost of your self-mailer mailing campaign to a minimum, you should try to create a design that measures 8.5" x 11" in size. This way, the self-mailer can be folded with a letter fold or a half-fold so only a single tab sealing will be necessary. To qualify for the single tab sealing, however, you need to make sure to place the mailing panel so the folded edge is located along the bottom side of the address. If you place the opening at the bottom of the self-mailer, on the other hand, you will need to use two tabs. By following these guidelines - whether you go with one tab or two - your self-mailer will qualify for automated postal rates.
