Securely insert or attach any enclosures included in an unwrapped publication.
Enclosure Test
To determine if an enclosure is securely inserted into a publication:
•
Pinch the middle of the publication's spine with the thumb and index finger of the same hand.
•
Shake the publication horizontally; a securely-attached insert will not fall out.
3.1.2 Slippage
Wrap enclosures so that the item does not slip more than:
•
20 mm in length and width; or
•
40 mm in length and 10 mm in width (for Presort width can be up to 40 mm).
There is a surcharge for any clear-wrapped Publications Mail item where the overhang of the wrapper exceeds the item by 40 mm in either direction.
3.1.3 Ease of Handling
Ensure that enclosures do not reduce the ease of handling of a publication. For example, do not include bulky or large enclosures that would make it difficult to stack the publication or to fit it into a mailbox.
