8. Using a pre-printed indicia on your outside envelope instead of a live stamp or meter imprint.

This is a close cousin to the previous post (#7). A pre-printed indicia tells the recipient “this letter isn’t very important, or we would have spent a little more money on a live stamp to send it to you.”
