There are several ways of affixing postage to your mail piece:

Postage Stamp:

• Most personal
• Available for full rate & discounted postage for both First & Standard Class mail.
• Gives impression mailing was not mass mailed. Your letter is one of a kind.
• Most stamps can be auto/machine affixed.
• All commerative stamps can be hand affixed for a very personal touch to your mailing.
• Additional cost for labor but postage amount the same as metered or indicia affixed postage.

Metered Postage:

• Most offices affix their postage this way.
• Gives mailing appearance of smaller mailing from an office.
• For all classes of mail.
  

Indicia:

• The indicia is a box in the stamp position stating the U.S. Postage has been paid. Postage is actually paid when mail is delivered to the Bulk Mail section of the Post Office.
• Least personal method.
• Used mostly for Standard Mail like coupon mailings of cards or self-mailers where it is obvious what offer is by headlines. Often used for newsletters.
• Postage amount the same as a stamp or metered mail.
• No additional cost as indicia is printed at the same time as the piece is printed.
