Design tool and support

• Design creative and machine-friendly mailings using the templates and tips in the Machineable Mail Advisor, a self-serve online resource centre.
• Test before you print. Reduce the risk of surcharges with a free Canada Post assessment that checks if your mail is machine-friendly enough for the best rates. Contact a Commercial Service Network Representative at 1-866-757-5480.
• A Statement of Accuracy (SOA) is required for all presort and machineable mailings greater than 5,000 pieces. Approved Canada Post address validation software must be used to validate your addresses.
