A Nonprofit mailing consists of at least 200 identical pieces. Materials must contain a general message aimed to all who receive it, rather than a personal message aimed to a particular individual. Nonprofit/Standard mailings may not advertise credit cards or insurance.

For mailings prepared by an outside mailing house, a sample and the approximate number of pieces must be given to the Mail Center along with chargeback information.
