The value represented by the bar code |
This bar code is the special code that is placed on the lower right portion of an envelope.
It is used to speed mail through the postal service (by automated sorting) and get reduced rates.
Start and stop characters are automatically added by PrintShop Mail.
It is recommended that you have an U.S Postal Service Mailpiece Design Analyst review and approve all POSTNET bar codes generated from PrintShop Mail. The Mailpiece Design Analyst is trained to analyze POSTNET bar codes and determine whether or not they meet the U.S Postal Service's technical requirements. Output can be send to them via email (digital file) fax or mail.
