Pre-packaging of flats mail by mailers, printers, and binding houses is provided by a carrier assembly that provides optimum shipping volumes while requiring reduced handling at postal facilities at elevated rates while supporting both manual and automated mail processing. The carrier assembly consists of a substantially rigid carrier body of rectangular cross section and includes a plurality, at least two, of generally flat, rectangular side walls and at least one end wall, two or more of which have one or a pair of banding guide slots formed in respective outer edges thereof in mutual registration for receiving banding or other strapping means in either parallel or cross-banding arrangements for securing mail loaded therein.
