New Postal Regulations about Wafer Seal Labels
The US Postal Service now requires that all wafer seal tabs used to seal booklets should not have any perforations. in general, all booklets need 3 tabs of 1-1/2" to close from all sides (1 per side). For larger or very heavy booklets, the USPS recommends 2" wafer seals. Booklets that do not comply with the new standards will not be eligible for machinable or automation letter prices. they will pay regular retail postage but the stuff will be delivered. the rules does not effect persinal users paying standard postage.
