Can You Staple the Mini Catalogs....

[jenpottratz]

or do you have to close them with sticker things (drawing a blank on what they are called). I can't remember what the post office prefers when sending those.
I usually close them with a sticker but I have an insert in them that I don't want to fall out so I'm not sure the best way to go about this.
Thanks in advance!!

I think you can staple, as long as you cover the staple with a sticker or piece of tape. (The newsletter editor from my car club asked at the PO and that's what they told him.)

Sticker. The staple will tear the paper and if you have staples you will have to tape over them anyway or they will return them.

I've read about others who put an insert in them so I'm sure you'll get great help soon. I just use scotch tape to secure them when I've sent them in the past. I don't think a staple will get through that many pages and I'm pretty sure the PO only wants the seal or tape to secure them.

How many stickers...need to be on it? Just one in the middle or do you have to do one on each end to prevent the pages from curling?
Sorry - thanks for the answers

I sent a bunch as invites for shows this month, and I put 2 on, about 1/3 of the way in from each end.

I just got a mini catalog/invite for a home party the other day (not PC) and an insert was taped to a center page and then the whole thing was closed with a sticker. Seemed to work pretty good.

I have done newsletters for several organizations and the PO does NOT want us using staples. They mess things up in their machines that they run them through. Use tape or stickers.

I just use scotch tape on each side.
