TO: All Douglas College Staff & Faculty FROM: B.C. and Yukon Postal District Recently the Vancouver Mail Processing Plant had difficulty in handling your mail because of the improper use of staples to close some of the items. Staples are permitted under certain conditions, to close mail posted without envelopes or other covers, provided the staples are securely imbedded to prevent injury to postal personnel or damage to other mail and equipment. We do, however, prefer the use of a strip of gummed paper or tape for this purpose and would suggest you use this method, if possible, on future mailings of this nature. If you find it necessary to use staples, care must be taken to ensure that they are securely clinched, because failure to do so may result in the mail being returned to you for better preparation. Should you wish further information regarding mail preparation, please call us at 666-6226.
