return addresses

Corner envelope information

Return addresses are the sender's address printed or written on mail, typically in the upper left corner of an envelope.

They serve two purposes: allowing undeliverable mail to be sent back, and identifying who sent the correspondence.

Make sure to include a return address on the package.

The term extends to email headers identifying the sender's address for replies.
