How to Correctly Write an Address on an Envelope
At Springpack, we understand the importance of ensuring your cards, letters and parcels arrive safely and promptly. Whether you’re sending important documents to a client or a package on Vinted, correctly addressing your envelope is a vital step in the delivery process.
Writing the Address
To maintain clarity and ensure successful delivery, use the following structure when writing an address on an envelope, mailing bag, or parcel:
Recipient’s Name
Company Name (if applicable)
Building Number and Street Name
Town/City
Postcode
For international mail, don’t forget the destination country in block capitals on the final line.
Always write the address clearly using capital letters, without punctuation, and ensure it’s left-aligned on the centre of the envelope’s front face. Use a dark coloured pen, preferably black, and write in clear, separated letters. Cursive handwriting can be easily misread.

Return Address
Including a return address on the back of the envelope is best practice, especially for business correspondence. This ensures undeliverable items can be returned to you promptly.
Stamp Placement
Place the stamp in the top right-hand corner of the envelope. This standard placement allows postal services to process your mail efficiently.

Printed Labels for Efficiency
Consider using printed address labels to save time and reduce the chance of error. Particularly in B2B environments or high-volume dispatch operations, labels offer a consistent, professional appearance and streamline your packing process.
At Springpack, we supply a wide range of packaging solutions, including linerless label printing technology.
