ABSTRACT:
A mailing label and system and method for preparing the same is provided. The mailing labels are provided on a continuous perforated strip, where the perforations define unitary fields of labels, including at least a label for an intended recipient's address and a label for bearing a postal service approved postage indicia, to be used on a single item to be mailed.
