The USPS recently launched the new Mailpiece Design Analyst (MDA) Support Center for our Mid-America District customers to provide nationwide expertise for mailpiece design and artwork.

The MDA Support Center routes requests for assistance from customers to MDAs who have specialized industry expertise.

Upon contacting the MDA Support Center at either (855) 593-6093 or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., a ticket will be opened and the customer will receive a corresponding ticket number.
