Although in January 2017, the USPS® announced a name change from Standard Mail to Marketing Mail™, mailers have been instructed to continue using “Standard Mail” through 2018. Pallet placards, tray and sack labels will continue to use STD Mail designation.
OMG has quoted the USPS as saying “The Domestic Mail Manual and Quick Service Guides in the applicable preparation sections were updated. Additionally, customers were advised that they should not convert to the USPS Marketing Mail markings until a date is announced. No changes will be implemented prior to January 2019.”
