I. Major Postage Hike in 2007 Affected All Newsletter Types

How the postage increase affected your newsletter format—

    Flats: Larger than 6⅛" x 11½"

    • Self-mailing newsletters and
      newsletters mailed in envelopes.


      Postage for these types of newsletters likely doubled depending on "zip code saturation"—how widely spread your mailing addresses are.  The more concentrated your mailing list is in a geographical area, the less drastic the increase was.

    Letter size: Smaller than 6⅛" x 11½"

    • Self-mailing newsletters and
      newsletters mailed in envelopes (#10 or 6" x 9" envelopes, for example).


      Postage for these types of newsletters increased only by a small rate change, the extent again depending on the "zip code saturation" of your mailing list. 

    2010 Update: No postage increase is currently scheduled for 2010.
