Royal mail have got it down to a pretty good art:

The main issue I have is that there is too much space devoted to telling you stuff you already know. You know the destination address because thats why you have the card. More importantly there isn't a space for a tracking number. (I assume the USPS has some sort of tracking.) surely that's the most important thing?

Notes:
_______________________
_______________________
On the back collection information.
Much more simple, readable and compact. The flow of information is from top to bottom, most important who its addressed to, next why its not been delivered, then when its being delivered (if at all) Date and time of attempt, extra notes.
- level3 11y agoThere are a couple of cases where the destination address is valuable to ensure that the package is delivered to the right person. 1. Particularly in apartment buildings where postboxes are next to each other, the slip may not be placed in the correct box. If I receive a slip that's intended for a neighbor, it would be helpful to know the correct address (since I probably don't know all my neighbors' names) 2. If the address is my address but not my name, then it's either a mistake by the sender or it's intended for a former resident, and I can inform USPS. If the address wasn't on the slip, I would just assume it was meant for a neighbor.
- KaiserPro 11y agoFair enough, It'd be worth putting in the first line of the address at least. Not too much extra space taken up.
