Appendix H One-Ply Express Mail Label (International
Mail)
A copy of a One-Ply Express Mail label for use with International Mail
appears on the following page, with explanations of its various components.
Note: Label Option 2 shown in Appendix G may also be used for
International Mail.
Show the following information on the
label as noted below:
- Express Mail imprint indicating
postage payment using Express Mail
Corporate Account (EMCA). Show
either the name of the customer that
owns the EMCA or the EMCA number.
Imprint should appear in upper right
portion of address area.
- Ship date.
- International: "EMS" logo is required.
There is no specific size requirement
for the logo, but it must be readily
visible on the label. A color logo is
preferred but not required. For color
logos, use Pantone Matching System
(PMS) 286 (blue) for the letters "EMS"
and PMS 151 (orange) for the graphic
"wings" on either side of the letters
"EMS."
- "USPS Express Mail" text, barcode,
human-readable barcode information
(blocks of Express Mail numbers will
be assigned by USPS), and bold
horizontal lines.
- Because label is one-ply, there will be
no mailing label for the delivery
employee to remove. Barcode
information should appear on the label
in the same relative position as shown
on the sample.
- Remainder of label is for customer use
and may include other internal
package IDs, barcodes, customer
information, contact telephone
numbers, etc.
- The barcode label must be printed using the USS Code 39 symbology.
- The appropriate customs document must be attached to the mailpiece.
