A permit imprint is used in place of a stamp. Permit imprints are placed in the upper right hand corner of a mail piece, tells the post office what class of mail is being sent and who is paying for the postage.

A permit is made up of 3 to 4 lines of text reading: class of mail, “U.S. Postage PAID”, the permit number, and the post office of entry. Sometimes, in place of the post office of entry and permit no., the permit holders company name can appear.

There are some requirements to using a permit imprint:

  • For First-Class Presort, the minimum quantity is 500 pieces, which must include a return address on the outside, and weigh 13 ounces or less.
  • For Presort Standard, minimum quantity is 200 pieces, which do not require a return address (unless an ancillary endorsement is being used). Any returned pieces that bear an ancillary endorsement will be charged first-class postage to the recipient.
  • For Non-Profit Org. the minimum quantity is 200 pieces. A non-profit status must be applied for and authorized by the post office in order to receive postage discounts.
