USPS Business Reply Mail (BRM)
enables you to receive First-Class Mail back from customers while paying
postage only on the pieces that your customers return. You may distribute
cards, envelopes, self-mailers, and other types of mailpieces as BRM.
Six basic design elements are required on a BRM piece. One of these design
elements is called Horizontal Bars. To help identify your mailpiece as BRM, you
must print a series of horizontal bars below the "NO POSTAGE NECESSARY"
endorsement on your BRM pieces. These bars must be uniform in length,
thickness, and spacing. Each bar must be at least 1 inch long and 1/16 inch to
3/16 inch thick.
There must be at least a 1/2-inch clearance between the right edge of the ZIP
Code in the delivery address and the left edge of the horizontal bars. The
bottom bar in the series must be above (not on or below) the top of the
delivery address line - the next-to-last line in the address, just above the
line with the city, state, and ZIP Code
