A: An indicia is a pre-printed identification that designates the

Superior Mailing will open a permit for the client or they may use our
permit if we complete the mailing.

A: Effective January 10, 2001 the words BULK MAIL will no longer
be allowed for standard mailing indicia. There is no change for first
