Definition
In general the printed paper rate applies to all impressions or copies obtained
upon paper or similar material, parchment or cardboard, by means of printing,
engraving, lithography, mimeography, photography, or other readily recognizable
mechanical process, except those obtained by means of the typewriter, tracing and
hand stamps with or without movable types.
Make-up
Printed papers should be clearly marked in the upper left-hand comer “Printed
Papers”. They are subject to examination in the post and must be made up in such
a way as to be easily examined. They may be placed in a wrapper, upon a roller,
between boards, in an open case or in an unclosed envelope furnished with a
blunt fastening easy to open and replace; or they may be secured with string easy to
untie. Printed matter in the form and substance of a card may be sent unenclosed
without band, envelope, or fastening and must then conform to the conditions
for postcards except for postage and maximum dimensions. Similarly, printed
papers may be sent unenclosed if they are folded in such a way that they cannot
become unfolded during transmission, and that there is no risk of their entrapping
other articles.
