The Postal Service’s National Printing Center, known as the NPC, is urging employees to take advantage of its competitive pricing for printed envelopes.
The NPC is the organization’s in-house printer. There are no profit margins or shipping charges on NPC orders.
Ordering in bulk can mean additional savings. For example, 500 No. 10 envelopes printed with a return address cost 13 cents each, including delivery. If you order more than 500, the cost is even lower.
The NPC prints envelopes from 3 1/2 by 6 1/2 inches up to 22 by 22 inches. Lead time is typically two weeks. The NPC charges your finance number automatically.
For an estimate, send the envelope size and return address to customprinting@usps.gov. Include the quantity, federal standard requisitioning and issue procedure (FEDSTRIP) code and due date.
