Make Your Fundraising Postage Work Harder
The new world of Intelligent Mail®.
The Postal Service is in the process of introducing new Intelligent Mail® bar codes to enhance automation processing and provide additional services to mailers. The IMb can be used right now to claim automation discounts and to use OneCode ACS tracking services and OneCode ACS address correction services. The full Intelligent Mail® program will be launched in May 2009 with the introduction of basic and full-service IMb options. The full-service option, which requires additional electronic documentation for mailings and use of Intelligent Mail® tray and container bar codes, also will bring larger automation discounts (compared to basic service or use of POSTNET bar codes) beginning in fall 2009.
