This page prints saturation flats for USPS Every Door Direct Mail. The default on the form is 6.5″ x 9″, 14 pt. Gloss, 100 pieces, full color both sides, and Standard (3-5 business days). Print on that row is $61.05. Ground to ZIP 33140 is $15.14. Packed is $76.19. The calculator above is the billed print and ship total. Postage is not in the cart. You buy the route in the USPS EDDM Online Tool and drop the stack at a Post Office.
Quantity on this ladder is 100 to 100,000. Twelve EDDM-eligible sizes stay on the dropdown: 4″ x 11″ panoramic coupon, 4.25″ x 11″ restaurant menu mailer, 4.5″ x 11″ tall flyer, 6″ x 11″ jumbo mailer, 6.5″ x 8″ wide retail card, 6.5″ x 9″ neighborhood flyer, 6.5″ x 11″ super-size flat, 6.5″ x 12″ mega flat, 8″ x 10″ poster layout, 8.5″ x 11″ letter circular, 9″ x 11″ XL announcement, and 9″ x 12″ large business flat. A 4″ x 6″ card is not here because USPS treats that size as a letter, not a flat.
Stay on this page for a full-neighborhood drop at standard speed. Express EDDM is the 2-3 day sibling with Bundle. Digital Fast EDDM is the 49-to-5,000, 1-2 day short run. If you already have named shop addresses, use postcard printing and mail a list. EDDM cannot keep only the businesses on a mixed route.

What USPS EDDM actually is
Every Door Direct Mail is a USPS saturation class. You do not buy a name-and-address list. You pick whole carrier routes on the official map at eddm.usps.com. The carrier walks every selected door. Official delivery types are Residential only (homes on that route, businesses and PO Boxes left off) or Business and Residential (every active mailbox). There is no businesses-only filter on a mixed route. A green “business only” route on the map means that route already has no homes. It is not a toggle that strips houses from a mixed street.
Retail is the path most local shops use. USPS says a Retail order must have at least 200 mailpieces in a ZIP unless the routes in that ZIP add up to fewer than 200. Retail users may mail up to 5,000 pieces per day per ZIP. You cannot add part of a route. When you click a route, you take the whole route. Drop-off dates can be booked up to 30 days ahead. Pay online or pay at the Post Office. Bring the printed Retail listing, PS Form 3587, and one facing slip per route.
BMEU is the permit path for larger drops. You need an active USPS Marketing Mail permit. BMEU also requires at least 200 pieces. Weight can go under 16 ounces and the rate can change with entry point (regional plant, local plant, or local PO). Nonprofit Marketing Mail prices exist only when your CRID carries a nonprofit authorization and the mailing meets Domestic Mail Manual 703.
Size, thickness, weight, and corners the Post Office will accept
EDDM Retail accepts USPS Marketing Mail flats only. A flat must exceed at least one letter limit: longer than 10.5″, taller than 6.125″, or thicker than 0.25″, and it must stay inside 15″ long, 12″ high, and 0.75″ thick. Minimum thickness is 0.007″ (about three sheets of copy paper). Retail pieces cannot exceed 3.3 ounces. That is why 6.5″ x 9″ is the house default: 6.5″ is already taller than 6.125″, so the piece is a flat even when it is thin cover stock.
14 pt. Gloss is the carrier-handling default on this form. 100 lb. Matte Cover measures about 10 pt and still clears 0.007″. Uncoated 14 pt is the writable back if someone must mark the piece. Linen, kraft, pearl, smooth white, and the Trifecta boards add production days. Do not pick 0.25″ rounded corners for a drop you will enter as EDDM. USPS allows finished corners only up to a 0.125″ radius. Leave Square Corners selected unless your Post Office has approved a sample.
The EDDM Indicia Option on this form is free. Choose “Please add EDDM indicia” if the file has no imprint. Choose “already included” if your designer placed the Retail or BMEU imprint. Choose “not intended for EDDM” only when these flats will be handed out, not mailed as saturation. Retail pieces must show the Every Door Direct Mail Retail indicia. The simplified address sits on the top half of the piece. Length is the longest side. Use “Local Postal Customer” for all doors or “Local Residential Customer” for homes only on Retail. BMEU uses “Postal Customer” or “Residential Customer” plus ECRWSS EDDM in the label.
Print quantity versus a real route count
One hundred is our print floor, not a USPS saturation minimum. A typical city route is often several hundred doors. Open the USPS map, add the routes you want, and read Total deliveries before you lock Quantity. If Retail needs 200 pieces in that ZIP and your first route is 340 homes, print 340 or the next priced step at or above that count. Extra leftover flats do not become a businesses-only remainder. They are extra print.
Print plus ground shipping on a shared size matches the postcard page for the same paper, sides, quantity, and turnaround. Postage is separate. On the USPS EDDM page (checked August 21, 2026) Marketing Mail flats up to 3.3 oz were listed at $0.26 each for EDDM Retail and as low as $0.259 each for EDDM BMEU. USPS sets those rates and can change them. Recheck usps.com/business/every-door-direct-mail.htm before you drop.

How you mail the stack after we ship it
We print and ship the flats to you or to a mail house. Production days on the form start after you approve the file and pay. Ground, 2nd Day Air, and Next Day Air are transit, not postage. When the carton arrives, log into the EDDM tool, pick the routes, print the forms, and bundle face-up. USPS recommends Retail bundles of 50 to 100 with the piece count on the facing slip. A 426-piece drop can be eight bundles of 50 and one of 26. Take the bundles and the printed forms to the scheduled Post Office. We do not buy postage, we do not hold a Marketing Mail permit for your drop, and we do not walk the route.
Do not print 100 and assume the Post Office will accept it as EDDM Retail. Check the live route total. Do not order 0.25" rounded corners for a saturation drop. Do not pick a pretty size that fails the flat test. Confirm thickness, weight, and indicia with your Post Office if the piece is unusual.
Standard EDDM questions
Can EDDM go homes only, businesses only, or all?
Homes only: yes. All doors (homes and businesses): yes. Businesses only: no. USPS built EDDM as saturation mail, so the carrier walks the whole route you buy. You may drop businesses and PO Boxes. You may not keep the shops and skip the houses on that same route. If the job is B2B only, print regular postcards on the postcard page and mail a business list you already have or buy. Or pick commercial-heavy routes on the USPS map and accept that you still pay for the homes on those routes.
Why is 4″ x 6″ missing from this form?
A 4″ x 6″ card is a USPS letter. EDDM Retail is flats only. A flat has to be longer than 10.5″, taller than 6.125″, or thicker than 0.25″, and still inside 15″ by 12″ by 0.75″. Use the postcard page for a standard 4″ x 6″. Stay here for the twelve flats that already clear that test, starting with 6.5″ x 9″.
Does 100 pieces meet a carrier-route minimum?
Often no. 100 is our print floor. USPS Retail usually wants at least 200 pieces in the ZIP unless the routes in that ZIP add up to fewer than 200. Open the EDDM map, read the Total column for each route, and print at or above that count. Asking the clerk after you already printed 100 is how leftover flats happen.
Is postage in the cart?
No. The cart is printing and shipping the flats to you or to a mail house. USPS postage is paid in the EDDM tool or at the Post Office. As of August 21, 2026 the public EDDM page listed Retail Marketing Mail flats at $0.26 each up to 3.3 oz. Recheck USPS before you drop. We do not sell a mailing list and we do not drop the bundles for you.
Will 6.5″ x 9″ cost the same as the postcard page?
For the same paper, sides, quantity, and turnaround, print plus ground ship should match. That is the shared-pricing rule for this pair. The EDDM page only narrows the size list. Postage, facing slips, and the route still sit on your side of the job.
Should I pick rounded corners for mailbox mail?
Not for a first EDDM drop. This form offers 0.25″ rounded corners. USPS flats may use finished corners only up to a 0.125″ radius. Leave Square Corners selected, or take a printed sample to your Post Office before you commit a whole ZIP. The free indicia option does not change the corner rule.
