Addressing international mail items Manual Introduction PostNL is pleased to provide you with advice regarding all your international direct mail activities. To make your direct mail campaign a success, you need to reach the right target group. A carefully selected address list is therefore essential. The use of a correct address and postcode structure is also important. This brochure is intended to help you use the correct address details per country.
Using the tables: Destination country Australia Countries are listed in an alphabetical order. Address example
By using the correct addressing method, you prevent any irritation on the part of the receiver and you increase the attention value of your mailings. Mail items are sorted automatically by a growing number of postal services. You can prevent mail handling delays by using addresses correctly and by using the correct postcode. The address type differs per country. The structure of the address, the position and the number of postcode characters depend on national customs and automated systems.
