Intelligent Mail Barcode

Please note that currently a Basic Service Intelligent Mail barcode is required for automation discounts. In January of 2014, Full-Service Intelligent Mail will be required.

Presort Tips:
To accurately determine mailpiece specifications, use ten mailpieces and then take the average. Height and width of a mailpiece are determined by the orientation of the address block.

Mailpiece design is an important factor both in reaching your customers and in budgeting your promotional campaigns. Were you aware that the design of your mailpiece can drastically affect the postage rates and deliverability? The Postal Business Center has mailpiece design analysts who can help you to realize lower postage rates while maintaining the marketing pizazz of your promotional material.
