Hide Your Postage Amount Using Stealth Postage

Stealth Postage—also known as keyline postage—does not display the actual postage amount on the mailpiece. Instead of showing the amount, the indicium image displays US POSTAGE AND FEES PAID.

Stealth Postage is allowed for any mailpiece with an IMb or IMpb, except:

Letters
Items where the postage amount is dependent on the declared value of the shipment, such as USPS insurance, COD, or Registered Mail.
Note: If you are using the Stealth Postage option, customs regulations of the importing country may require postage amount information on the customs form even though the USPS allows the postage amount to be hidden in the indicium which may cause customs delays.

The use of Stealth Postage is available only to Endicia Premium or higher service account subscribers.

Steps

From either the Design tab or the Address Book tab, select Postage > Options.
Select the Premium Options tab.
Select the Use Stealth Postage (hide postage value) check box.
Click OK.
