For products over 6” x 11” (or Flat Class Mail), yes, as long as the address area is large enough to accommodate your address and intelligent-mail barcode. Avoid putting any text near the address area that could be misread as address data. Please refer to our free downloadable mailing templates here.
For postcards and products up to 6” x 11” (Letter Class mail) you should not have art below the address area.
Generally, the indicia must either be in the top right corner of the mail piece or the top right corner of the address area. However, indicia and mailing panel placement depend on the product. Common examples below. We recommend that you utilize our free downloadable mailing templates for your specific mailing product.

You can use your non-profit status to mail through PrintingCenterUSA’s indicia. However, mailing with your non-profit indicia would require PrintingCenterUSA to mail through your non-profit permit account. PrintingCenterUSA does not offer this service.
You must supply your CRID and Non-Profit Authorization to us upon ordering to utilize your non-profit status. To obtain your CRID, you must create an account on USPS®. To obtain your non-profit authorization through USPS, you must fill out this form and return it to the Post Office where Nonprofit Standard Mail mailings will be deposited. Once authorized, the authorization will apply nationwide. PrintingCenterUSA cannot authorize an organization.
Once you have your non-profit authorization, PrintingCenterUSA will need to be provided with the company name and CRID.
Your indicia size should be no less than ½ inch squared. Please refer to our free downloadable mailing templates here.
Indicia is an imprint on each mail piece that signifies postage has been prepaid. It takes the place of a stamp or postage meter imprint and is printed or ink-jetted directly on your mail piece.

If you are mailing your products through your own permit, then you must use your own indicia and submit your art files with the appropriate indicia. If you are using a local mailer, then ask them.
