What is the weight limit for USPS Marketing Mail to qualify as non-automation?

The weight limit for USPS Marketing Mail to qualify as non-automation is less than 16 ounces. Marketing Mail is a specific category of mail that allows organizations to send promotional materials, advertisements, and newsletters at a lower rate than First-Class mail.

When mail pieces weigh 16 ounces or more, they cannot be sent as Marketing Mail and instead must be sent as Priority Mail. This means that anything that exceeds this weight threshold must be processed differently, which affects the pricing and service levels available. Thus, the weight limit plays a crucial role in classifying the mail as non-automation for the purposes of rates and handling.
