NEW USPS Commercial and Nonprofit Mail Rates – January 2026
On January 18, 2026 the USPS implemented new rates across their “market dominant” products, which includes First Class Mail and commercial/nonprofit mail. Most rates are going up 5-8%, although the price for a single First Class stamp will remain 78 cents as it has been since summer of 2025.
We also offer this information in a PDF, including a section illustrating minimum and maximum sizes for pieces to be considered letters, flats, or postcards.
SunDance can handle direct mail from design through fulfillment, including secure data (we are HIPAA and SOCII certified). Anything from eye-catching postcards to custom-shaped luxury packages and more!

All these rates are as provided by USPS.
