Overseas Post: Printed Papers, conld.

Make-up
Printed papers should be clearly marked in the upper left-hand corner “Printed
Papers”. They arc 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.
