Shape-Based Solutions

Since Shape-Based Pricing deemphasizes an item's weight in favor of a size, thickness and weight combination, you will see a major shift in the USPS’ mailing cost structure. Due to shape variations, letters, flats and parcels will now all be priced differently because they are all handled and processed differently.

With the introduction of Shape-Based Pricing as part of the USPS' May 14, 2007 rate change, MAILwaukee offers a line of shape-based solutions that will not only help you combat rising costs, but also remove the frustration Shape-Based Pricing can bring.


WJDWP
With the introduction of Shape-Based Pricing, Dynamic Weighing Platform (WJDWP) allows you to process mixed size, thickness and weight mail pieces on the fly.

The WJDWP adds greater functionality to mailing operations because it will automatically identify an item as a flat or envelope and will provide the appropriate rate based on both its shape and weight.


Folders/Inserters
Shape-Based Pricing means it is more important than ever to consider the type of mail piece you are sending. If you can send your mailing in a letter envelope, as opposed to a flat, you can reduce your costs up to 30%.

With a folder/inserter to help you save time and money under the Shape-Based Pricing system, you will have one less concern to worry about.
