Four-State Bar Code Takes Effect
The U.S. Postal Service’s new four-state barcode got
a jump-start earlier this month. The new – and
optional – four-state barcode lets businesses track
up to 1 billion pieces of mail at a time.
According to a recent DM News article, the new
barcodes allows mailers to easily request services,
such as address correction and confirmation of
delivery and helps USPS process and deliver mail
more efficiently. The Postal Service believes the
new program will enable customers to track every
piece of mail from pickup to delivery.
The four-state barcodes uses four types of barcode
lines (instead of two), used in the Postnet barcode
and the Planet Code barcodes. According to the
article, the four-state barcode will incorporate the
Postnet barcode, used for sorting, and the
PlanetCode, which mailers apply to letter or flat
mail for tracking.
