Print and Mail Production

Manage barcode generation right from your production floor.

The Opportunity
Centralize barcode implementation for all of your applications and documents in a production environment.

• Create barcode directly from payload data
• Enjoy application independence
• Easier to create enterprise standards
• Minimal dependency on IT

Mailstream Best Practices

• Look for flexibility and integrity. You can modify print streams using output management software, adding, removing and enhancing barcodes on the fly. This approach allows you to maintain a link to in-house data.

• Integrate CASS-Certified™ coders with your document management software.

• Use Intelligent Mail^® barcodes to improve mail operations via job reconciliation, file-based processing, enhanced reporting and productivity tracking

Making it Happen

Centralized Output Management. Modify, combine and add barcodes to the print-ready files created by your existing applications without disrupting your underlying operations or mission-critical systems.

Envelope Barcode Printing. You can apply barcodes and other variable messages directly on your envelope by adding an envelope finishing system to your inserter.

Barcode Generation. Create barcode payloads—including unique sequence numbers— using the most accurate customer and address data.  Look for solutions that link barcodes to your source data, encode to USPS specifications and make it easy to render final barcodes.

Mailing Efficiency. Look for software that is CASS™ certified and PAVE™ certified. These features will help you improve address quality, lower your postage costs and comply with USPS requirements
