How many pages can you ship with a 42 cents stamp?

Answer 1

The limit is based on weight -- one ounce maximum. Two standard sheets will almost

certainly weigh less than one ounce, but I found that my Christmas cards plus a

2-page letter was too heavy. Three thin sheets might be under an ounce- you would

have to weigh it for sure.

Postage scales are not very expensive, and they have a free one at the PO.--I think that mine has probably paid for itself more than once is saving on postage.

By the way , the second ounce only costs 17 cents extra- I know people who put

a second 42-cent stamps just to make sure.

Answer 2

With a 42 cent stamp in the United States, you can typically mail one standard-letter-sized envelope that weighs up to 1 ounce. The number of pages you can include in your envelope will depend on the paper thickness, but as a general rule, you can usually include about 4-5 pages.
