Intelligent Mail Barcode

The Intelligent Mail® barcode (IMb) represents a significant change in USPS standards. Designed to help the USPS sort, track and process mail, this new barcode can also help you engage customers more effectively at lower costs.

Today, mailers who comply with the “Full Service” Intelligent Mail® option can earn the greatest postal discounts. At some point in the future, it is likely that Full Service IMb™ will be required in order to qualify for automation pricing—which can be up to 47% less than retail rates. With the "Full Service" option, you also get improved tracking, free address correction service and even greater discounts.

In addition to this new mailing barcode, a separate barcode will be required for parcel services. Learn more.
