Envelope layout
It is important that the zones on the envelopes, indicated in the image below, are observed at all times.
Typically, the address should be written in three lines:
- The top line should contain the recipient’s name.
- The second last line should contain the number and name of the street, PO Box or locked bag number if applicable.
- The last line should contain the place name or post office of delivery, State or Territory abbreviation and postcode. This line should be printed in capitals without punctuation or underlining. For overseas mail the country name should be in capitals on the bottom line.
Where extra clarifying information is required, place this infomation above the last two lines of the address. This includes information such as:
- company or property name;
- non-address information, e.g. Attention M/s.
