2020 Price Change
Separation of Traditional and Marketing
Detached Address Labels (DALs)
Detached Address Label 4.5 cents
Detached Marketing Label 5 cents
The USPS will implement separate pricing for marketing and traditional DALs.
This will align with the ability to differentiate between a Detached Address Label
(DAL) and a Detached Marketing Label (DML).
DALs may only carry a public service announcement for Missing Children;
DMLs may have other messages including advertising which makes them a
Detached Marketing Label (DML) for which a mailer will be paying a slightly higher
price.
