US Postal Service: Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMb) for use on Business or Courtesy Reply Envelopes |
|
December 4, 2012,
Volume 59, No. 14 |
University departments using business or courtesy reply envelopes for their mailings should be aware of a new policy by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Beginning January 2013, anyone using a business or courtesy reply envelope in their mailing is now required to print the USPS Intelligent Mail barcode on these envelopes. Envelopes that do not utilize the Intelligent Mail barcode will incur increased costs for these mailings, as well as possible denial of automation discounts for outgoing mailings.
For more information about the Intelligent Mail barcode and how it will affect your next mailing, contact your printer or the USPS Mailpiece Design Analyst Support Center at 1-855-593-6093 or by sending email to mda@usps.gov
