I send about one registered package out of the US about once a week. I'm sick of using a half roll of brown tape inorder to send it out. Does anyone know the actuall regulations on what kinds of tape you can use and if you have to cover the whole package?
Thanks Mike
Sealing
3.6
The mailer must securely seal envelopes. Paper or cellulose strips or wax or paper
seals must not be placed over the intersections of flaps of letter-size envelopes
where the postmark impressions are made. Packages must be sealed with
mucilage or glue or with plain paper or cloth tape. Packages containing currency or
securities may not be sealed exclusively by paper strips, but must first be sealed
securely with mucilage or glue. Large envelopes (flats) that are completely sealed
and that also have paper strips or paper tape across the intersections of the flaps
may be considered packages for sealing requirements. To be used on registered mail, tape must visibly damage the envelope or wrapper if removed and must
absorb the ink in a postmark impression.
