Start with what the recipient or mail handler needs to understand. Then compare the impression width, available ink colours and the surface being stamped.
Choose Return to Sender when a general instruction is sufficient. Use No Longer at This Address, Not Known at This Address or Deceased only when that wording accurately reflects the situation and your organisation's procedure.
Compact 37 × 12mm designs fit smaller envelopes. The 45 × 18mm options give longer explanations more breathing room. The 75mm-wide layouts produce a prominent horizontal instruction, with 11mm or slim 5mm height.
Place the mark where it is easy to see without covering the delivery address, barcode or other handling information. For sensitive correspondence, follow your organisation's privacy, safeguarding and records process and avoid adding unnecessary personal detail.
A Return to Sender impression is an instruction on the item; it does not guarantee that a carrier will accept or return it. Follow the relevant carrier requirements and your internal procedure for unopened post, address checks, records and onward handling.
Standard water-based ink is intended for absorbent matt paper and card. It is not designed for glossy envelopes, laminated labels, coated stock or other non-porous surfaces. Read the Stamp Ink Guide if uncertain.
These ready-made impressions are supplied as shown in the product photographs. If your mail process needs an organisation name, PO box, reference field, department, language variation or another instruction, create it with a personalised text stamp.
