Placing address properly and accurately on an envelope will ensure that the letter will reach its destination. Generally, addressing an envelope is easy, especially if you have performed this task quite a bit. Addressing envelopes has rules, but they are all the same whether you will be writing it, printing it or using address labels. To give you ideas, here are some simple instructions on how to properly put addresses on an envelope.
• Use a black ink when you are writing or printing on envelopes. A black ink will make it easier to read, even if the envelope gets wet. Aside from that, you should also ensure that the sizes of the letters are large enough to be read, even if it is held three feet away.
• The longest side should be on top when you are holding your envelope. The delivery address will be placed about one inch to the left of the center of the envelope. It should also be placed two thirds of the width of the envelope down from the top, in the front portion of the envelope.
• On the top line of every delivery address, you will have to write the name of the person whom you will be sending the letter to. You need to use the correct title for the person. After the name of the person, you have to put the street address of the person. Following the street address would be the city, the state abbreviation and the zip code.
• Once you are done with the delivery address, do not forget to write the return address. The return address will be placed on the top, left- hand corner on the front portion of your envelope. The format to use should be the same as the delivery address.
It is important to properly place addresses on the envelope, so that you will be assured the letter will be received by your recipient. Make sure that when you write the address, it should be written legibly and clearly.
