Window Envelopes

Ensure that slippage of contents within the window envelope does not obscure the ACS participant code and keyline information. The participant code and keyline must always be visible within the window, regardless of content shift (see DMM 507.3.2.4 and 507.3.2.5).

As part of the approval process, the submitted mailpiece sample will be tapped on all sides including the top to test for shift. The readability of the participant code and keyline is critical to provide the customer an acceptable level of service. Note that this does differ from normal Postal Service automation testing procedures but is solely for the benefit of our ACS participants.
