Business Reply Mail and IMB Barcode

Business-Reply-Mail-IMB-BarcodeThe USPS has announced that the postnet barcode will no longer get automation postage rates as of 1/28/2013. To continue to get automation rates you will have to use the new IMB (Intelligent Mail Barcode).

If you currently have a business reply account, you need to update your templates with the new IMB barcode before 1/28/13. I encourage you to do this as soon as possible to avoid the rush that will surely happen come January.

Contact your local post office and speak with the your Business Reply associate.
