Have you ever tried to send a package, such as an envelope or a parcel using postal services and wondered whether the package ever reached the person you intended to receive it or whether it reached in time? No need to worry anymore. Postal services have employed the use of Certified Mail Labels that will provide you with assurance that your package will be safely delivered to the proper addressee on time. Read more in this article to discover more about how the certified mail labels are created, used and the advantages of using them in postal services.

A certified mail label is a printed paper which is stuck on the outside of the package being mailed. Mostly, the label is used on letters and envelopes. Generally, the label contains a form which is filled by the sender to ensure the package is sent and to indicate the mailing date. A unique package number is placed on the mail label to allow later sorting and identification of the package during processing. You can also use this package number to confirm the delivery status of your package by tracking it online. Certified mail labels can be downloaded from the internet and printed or they can be provided by the postal company in hard copy. In both cases, the labels are paid for.

The certified mail labels are especially used in delivery of urgent, important documents which require secure monitored delivery. The addressee is supposed to place his signature on the mailing form to confirm that he has received the package before opening it. Receipts are kept by both the sender and recipient as mailing proof and proof of delivery respectively. A special system collects the signatures and package numbers and uses them to make a record which can be used for reference in case of future grievances. This record is stored online for a specified period of access. Read more about this here.

In limited cases, it is a legal requirement for Certified Mail to be used because of the benefits it offers of security, tracking and proof of mailing and delivery. Certified mail, furthermore, has greatly lessened the need to go to the post office to mail your package by offering online certified mail service whereby you simply download your mailing label after paying online for it, fill it and stick it on your package and drop it in the outgoing mailbox! Lastly, certified mail offers liability by the posting company in case of failure to deliver, loss or damage of package in transit. Therefore, in conclusion, certified mail labels are the most effective means of ensuring that your package is delivered to the right recipient and within the required time-frame.
