A Caution

• The contents of this presentation contain information

provided by the United States Postal Service. Our source is

www.ribbs.gov

.

• The USPS remains the authoritative source for this

information. We caution everyone to check with their local

Mailpiece Design Analyst (MDA) when seeking any

interpretation of mailpiece changes. The MDA’s assessment is

final.

A Review of

Automation Compatibility Characteristics

(4)

Once a mailpeice has been determined to be a letter, flat, or parcel it must also be categorized as machinable, nonmachinable, or automation compatible.

A mailpiece is machinable if it can be sorted on Postal Service processing equipment and meet specific standards, including size, shape, and weight.

A mailpiece is nonmachinable if it cannot be sorted by Postal Service equipment. Higher postage prices may apply to mailpieces that do not meet machinable standards.

Your customer’s mailpiece meets automation standards and qualifies for automation prices if it meets the specific addressing, barcoding, and design standards established for your mailing service type and your level of sortation.

Machinable ‐ Nonmachinable ‐ Automation

(5)

Envelope Shapes Matter

Envelopes for automation must be rectangular, with four square corners and parallel opposite sides

ONLY Exception:

Letter-size pieces made of card stock may have “Finished Corners” that do not exceed a maximum radius of .125 inch (1/8” inch)

(6)

Aspect Ratio

The result of the length of a design being divided by it’s height must fall between 1.3 to 2.5 (inclusive).

Automation Compatibility Characteristics

Envelopes for discount must be more rectangle and not square

(7)

Thickness

Maximum = .25”

Minimum = .007” *If the design exceeds

either 4-1/4” Height or 6” Length or both, must be minimum .009”

Dimensional Standards

Maximum Weight for Automation Letters Maximum Weight for Machinable Letters

*Heavy letter mail

weighing more than 3 ounces must have a barcode in the address block and be prepared in a sealed envelope 3.3 oz. _{*3.5 oz.} 5” 11-1/2” Maximum 3-1/2” 6-1/8” Minimum

(8)

Avoid Plastic LAMINATION & OVERWRAP

• Poly‐bagged, poly‐wrapped or enclosed in any

plastic material

*Some translucent envelopes (made of paper material) can be automation compatible.

• Avoid These Types of Stock

–

Glossy

–

Porous – Barcodes will “Bleed”

• Newsprint, Textured Stock,

• Uncoated Corrugated Mailers

–

Thin paper stocks

• Image bleed thru from inserts or other pages

• Background Concerns

• Recycled Paper with Specks

• “Security Paper”

• Patterns

What is the IMb

• The Intelligent Mail Barcode (formerly the 4‐State Customer

Barcode) is a new Postal Service barcode used to sort and

track letters and flats.

• This barcode is now being deployed and will be required by the

USPS because it extends the capability of the USPS to trace and

track mailpieces and provides customers with greater visibility

into the mailstream.

The Intelligent Mail barcode for mailpieces is a 5 field, maximum 31-digit string that converts into 65 bars of 4 different heights.

The maximum 31-digit string contains a 20-digit Tracking Code representing the first 4 fields and a maximum 11-digit Routing Code.

Unlike the POSTNET™ barcode the IMb™ is always 65 bars, regardless of ZIP Code® _{length, and does not require a check-digit or frame bars.}

Key IM™ Barcode Checklist

Barcode ID must be “00” if an OEL is not printed on the piece.

Service Type ID is required for processing.

– At a minimum provide Mail Class; do not use “000”!

Mailer ID is required for everyone.

– OneCode ACS, OneCode Confirm, Basic and Full-Service

options (can be yours or your mail preparer’s)

– Do not populate with fictitious number or zeroes.

Serial Number

– For the Basic service, the Serial number does not need to be

unique and can be the same on all mailpieces.

Routing Code, MUST be a valid ZIP Code.

– Derived from CASS-certified software that accurately matches

the delivery address

– Must never be padded with zeroes, spaces or nulls; same as

POSTNET

(27)

Created by downloading and installing the encoder and font

– The encoder converts the 20-digit tracking code and routing

code, a maximum of 11-digit into a combined 65-character

string representing the ADFT characters.

– A special font is required to convert 65 ADFT character

string into the IMb.

How it works

• The Intelligent Mail barcode combines the data of the existing POSTNET™ and the

Planet Code® barcodes as well as other data into a single barcode.

• The Intelligent Mail Barcode a type of height modulated barcode that uses four

distinct vertical bar types (Full, Tracker, Ascender and Descender.)

• QBRM is only a postcard and letter product.

Courtesy Reply Mail

– All CRM letters and cards included in any automation mailings will be required to have an IMb.

• This is not a requirement for CRM flats.

Permit Reply Mail

– Any PRM letters and flats that mailers distribute, regardless of method, must bear an IMb.

(38)

BRM’s and CRM’s

• BRM/QBRM letters and cards distributed in/after May 2011 must bear an

IMb

• PRM letters and flats distributed in/after May (2011) must bear an IMb

• CRM letters and cards enclosed in an automation mailing in/after May

must bear an IMb

• IMb uniqueness is not required. You can use basic IMb

• Mailers may use existing 6 or 9 digit MID

• Reply pieces with Origin Confirm Service do not require a MID

(39)

What is Origin Confirm?

Origin Confirm is for incoming mail. This

service notifies the subscribing mailer of

various movements of individual reply

pieces, such as business reply mail being

returned by customers, before delivery to

the Confirm subscriber.

mailers must re‐submit envelopes & cards w/IMb

for approval to obtain QBRM prices

• Once the mailpieces w/IMb are approved, old mailpieces

returned by the permit holder’s customers without IMb

will still be eligible for QBRM prices

Implementation

Qualified Business Reply Mail (QBRM)

For Qualified Business Reply Mail (QBRM), the mailer must use the unique ZIP+4 Code assigned to them by the Postal Service for use with BRM. The mailer must print the ZIP+4 Code in the address, and place the corresponding ZIP+4 barcode on the mailpiece.

The ZIP+4 Code assigned by the Postal Service is unique for that category of letter-size BRM. The ZIP+4 barcode provides for sortation on postal automated equipment by specific size and rate categories (i.e., cards, 1 oz. letters, 2 oz. letters, etc.).

In return for following the relevant standards, the mailer receives a discount not only on their per-piece handling fees, but also in actual First-Class Mail postage rates. This is possible

because of the efficiency of the Postal Service's high-speed barcode sorters. For postage rates and fees for regular BRM and QBRM rates, see the Quick Service Guide 507a - Business Reply Mail PDF or HTML .
