Business Reply Mail Artwork Requests
Business Reply Mail® (BRM) uses preprinted First-Class Mail® pieces for which you, not your customer, pay the return postage. You are only charged for the pieces that are returned to the University.

Please provide the following information when requesting BRM artwork.
- Mail piece dimensions
- Mail piece type (letter, flat, postcard)
