What is the packaging supplies program?
The Postal ServiceTM provides expedited packaging
supplies for Express Mail® and Priority Mail® services.
These premier services promote the Postal Service brand,
position our services against those of our competitors, justify price, and motivate customer choice at retail counters.
Expedited packaging delivers a benefit to the customer and
provides value. The packaging program is an important
Postal Service marketing tool. Equally important is controlling the cost of using the tool.
