Intelligent Mail barcode
Make your mail more intelligent.
Have you noticed the funny way the barcode on your direct mail piece is now appearing – it no longer sits on a baseline? Well, that is called the Intelligent Mail barcode, it is a new Postal Service code that is used to sort and track flats and letters. This code combines the data of the existing PLANET Code and POSTNET barcodes, as well as other data, into a single barcode. It expands the ability to track each mailpiece and provides customers with greater visibility in the mail.
Your mailing panel goes from 7-8 lines down to 4 – minimizing the space used on your mailpiece. No more having to leave the top HALF of your letter design blank. But, it also has many other benefits, to name a few: provides mailers with more digits for their use, allowing for unique id of up to a billion mailpieces per mailing; has a greater overall capacity than existing barcodes and still qualifies for automation prices.
