Article: Your envelope probably has a long flap that clasps or seals the contents inside. You don't want your address to be written on the same side as this flap. While you don't need to take out a ruler and find the true center of the envelope, try to be as accurate as possible. The address shouldn't be way over to the left or right, or too close to the top or bottom of the envelope. Don't use just a nickname or something like "Grandma Suzy." Instead, clearly print the recipient's first name followed by their last name. You don't need to include their middle name unless they generally use it in their official correspondence instead of their first name. This first line would look something like, "Jenna Martinez." If you'd like, you can include the recipient's title (Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., etc.) before their name. It's best to avoid writing in cursive when addressing mail. Printed block letters are easier for postal workers to read. If you're sending this envelope to a company, school, or other institution, print that out next. It's best to be as specific as possible, so if you know the specific department you're sending the letter to, include that as well. Use 2 separate lines for this information. For example, if you were sending your large envelope to the University of Oregon's English Department, the second line would look like this, "Department of English," and the third line would be, "University of Oregon." If you're sending your envelope to a P.O. Box rather than a street address, put that down instead. Double check that you're writing down the correct information. Flipping 2 numbers, for example, could easily send your large envelope to the wrong spot! For example, you might write, "125 East Main St." or "P.O. Box 8795." Don't forget to add a direction if the street name includes one. You can use abbreviations (N, W, S, E, NW, etc.). To avoid making the line that includes the house number and street address too long, go to the next one for this extra info. It'll make it easier for the postal worker to find it. You can abbreviate "apartment" to "apt" and "suite" to "ste." So this line might look like, "Apt. 4D" or "Ste. 45." The city should come first, followed by a comma. Then, write the state's correct abbreviation. Look up the correct abbreviation at: https://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/28apb.htm. End with the zip code. This line might look something like, "Easton, CT 06612." It's very important that you use the correct zip code, so double check this information online before you write it down.
