<p>How many stamps do I need to put on a 9 x 12 envelope for teacher evals and second school reports? Does it matter if it is several miles away or across the country? Will two .37 stamps do?</p>
<p>two .39 should do</p>
<p>.39 + .24</p>
<p>.39 for first ounce, then .24 for each addition ounce</p>
<p>If you are using a large envelope you could take a sample (that is, one containing the blank form to be filled out) to the post office and have it weighed so you know what the correct postage is. However, it is not clear to me that you need to use a 9 x 12 envelope, since a one-sheet rec or transcript is usually folded to fit into a standard business envelope, in which case a single 30-cent stamp will do for first-class postage anywhere in the continetnal US (I do not know about Alaska and Hawaii).</p>
<p>I wouldn't recommend folding papers or stapling them b/c it makes it harder for them to file and photocopy them.</p>
<p>paper size manilla envelope containing: 1 recommendation form, letter rec, and transcripts(transcripts in a smaller sealed envelope).</p>
<p>Do you guys think that would need 3 stamps, or is 2 fine?</p>
<p>If you wait in line at the post office (which, depending on the size of your town, might be rather cumbersome), the employee can use a postage meter and charge you appropriately--plus you get the bonus of seeing the postmark if you're close to a deadline. I would guess that you might need three stamps for the contents you describe (that's probably over 2 ounces with the smaller envelope, and the post office rounds up).</p>
<p>I just stuck 3 on each to make sure there were zero issues.</p>
<p>Just add a 3rd stamp. Peace of mind is worth more than 39 cents</p>
<p>Here's the scoop:</p>
<p>If you have 1 ounce or less in a 9 X 12 you need a .39 and a .13 stamp.
If you have between one ounce and two ounces you need .39 plus a .24 stamp.
If you have between two ounces and thress ounces you need .39 plus TWO .24 stamps. Every additional ounce (or fraction of) you need an additional .24 stamp.</p>
<p>Some examples of weights:</p>
<p>A 9X12 manilla envelope with:
1 sheet - .8 oz (stamps .39 +.13)
2 sheets - 1.0 oz (stamps .39 + .13)
3 sheets - 1.2 oz (stamps .39 + .24)
4 sheets - 1.3 oz (stamps .39 + .24)
5 sheets - 1.5 oz (stamps .39 + .24)
6 sheets - 1.7 oz (stamps .39 + .24)
7 sheets - 1.8 oz (stamps .39 + .24)
8 sheets - 2.0 oz (stamps .39 + .24 + .24)
9 sheets - 2.1 oz (stamps .39 + .24 + .24)
10 sheets - 2.3 oz (stamps .39 + .24 + .24)</p>
<p>I do a lot of mailing because I have a home business - I weighed all these on a postal scale. Here is a good web site to help you out:
