  1. FSS at Ground Level MTAC Workgroup #101 Address Location for a Flats Sequencing System

  2. MTAC Workgroup #101 Workgroup charter:"To understand the operational and financial consequences of the new FSS process (as it relates to label placement) on both the USPS and Industry. With this greater understanding, to make recommendations that will enable the USPS to gain the most efficiency from the FSS equipment and decide on options that will allow maximum participation."

  3. MTAC Workgroup #101 FSS Environment will require a certain level of address placement standardization that will have an impact across all classes of flat sized mail:First Class – Standard – Periodicals – Standard/BPM

  4. MTAC Workgroup #101 Each of the four surveyed classes had some unique issues and concerns and the workgroup identified five common issues and implications considered in the recommendations:

  5. MTAC Workgroup #101 Limitations of existing equipment and the possibility of significant capital expendituresPotential re-engineering and reprogramming requirements to existing business practices and/or technologyAddress read orientation and the impact it may have on mail piece recipients and customer retention efforts

  6. MTAC Workgroup #101 The loss/alteration of advertising or marketing space, particularly among Periodical and Standard Mail customers, andThe challenges in terms of real estate and addressing methods for newspapers

  7. MTAC Workgroup #101 Conclusion and RecommendationThe workgroup recommended that under an FSS environment all addresses are placed in a manner to increase the ability to locate and see the address block when the flats are “verticalized” or placed standing up.

  8. MTAC Workgroup #101 Conclusion and Recommendation Address/label placement recommendations: All flat mail must be output from the flats sequencing machine with the bound edges aligned (unless enveloped or polybagged). Addresses may appear on the front or back of the mail piece. Once output with the bound edges aligned to the right, all addresses would appear in the top third of the mail piece (top half of smaller pieces, such as 5.5” x 8.5”), either perpendicular or parallel to the bound edge, final fold, or longest dimension (envelopes).
