Frequently Asked Questions
A 1‑ounce letter must fall within USPS letter dimensions (3.5" × 5" to 6.125" × 11.5"), remain flexible, and weigh under 1 ounce. Anything rigid, oversized, unusually thick, or outside the required aspect ratio will need additional postage or a different USPS rate.
Letters that are rigid, square, uneven, bumpy, or too thick are considered non‑machinable and require a surcharge, even if they weigh under 1 ounce. Envelopes that cannot bend easily or contain items like keys, magnets, or thick inserts will not qualify for standard machinable letter pricing.
Nature‑themed Forever Stamps work well for seasonal greetings, outdoor weddings, eco‑focused events, and thank‑you cards with a calm, grounded tone. Their landscapes and natural textures pair beautifully with minimalist or kraft envelopes.
Bulk purchasing locks in today's postage rate and protects you from future USPS price increases. Because Forever Stamps automatically rise in mailing value when USPS raises rates, buying larger quantities can deliver meaningful long‑term savings for frequent mailers, nonprofits, and businesses.
