Your return address should always be either on the top left corner of the product, or the top left corner of the mailing panel. If you put your return address anywhere else, it could be accidentally used as your mailing address during scanning. A return address is required for first class mailing.
All letter class mail must be mailed in landscape orientation. Flat sized mail can be done either landscape or portrait, but portrait is the most commonly used orientation.

8.5 x 11 Multi-Page products qualify as Flat-Class. The mailing panel (delivery address) can be anywhere in the top half of the piece. Please refer to our free downloadable mailing templates here.
