- Mail_sack abstract "A mail sack or mailsack as defined by the National Postal Museum is a United States Postal Service lower security class mail bag used to carry second-class mail as well as third-class mail and fourth-class mail. The use of a particular kind or designation of "mail sack" is dependent upon the type of mail it contains, and the security it requires. Mail sacks of the United Kingdom come in different colors for sorting different kinds of mail.Different handling and security requirements for different classes of mail is integral to the postal rate structure, and is tied to regulation and rates for the mail under the auspices of the postal rate commission.A mail sack is not a locked bag since they need little security. In contrast to a similar mailbag — referred to as a mail pouch (for more sensitive mail such as personal letters and military mail) that employs a locking mechanism on the top of the bag. A mail pouch has special closely spaced eyelets and a strong strap to secure the top where access into the bag is closed off and locked, where a mail sack has none of these features.During World War I it was typical of German soldiers to write postcards to their family to keep in touch to let them know where they were and what they were doing. The various ultimate destinations of the postcards were sorted into German "mail sacks" of that time period (1914-1918) by behind the scenes post-office troops.In Great Britain, the term "mail sack" is more expansive and generic, and typically involves larger bags that contain mail destined for one destination.A Singapore judge held that mail sacks are considered to be part of the postal system and are protected by Chinese law; interference with them can be the subject of criminal prosecution.".
