Supporting Our Military

To address current demand, the Postal Service has created a special “kit” that contains the necessary mailing materials based on the most popular items ordered to send care packages to the troops. This kit may be ordered by calling 1-800-610-8734 and requesting CAREKIT04. The kit contains 10 Priority Mail boxes, five “Mili-Pacs,” one roll of Priority Mail tape, and 10 customs forms with envelopes. There is no charge for the kit.

Mili-Pacs, developed with the Military Postal Service Agency, are Tyvek envelopes with Old Glory on one side and feature detailed addressing information. It is encouraged that this process be followed for all mail destined for military units overseas. The address block on the Mili-Pac accommodates service member’s full name, rank or rating, military organization or unit, APO/FPO with 9-digit ZIP Code.
