What is POSTNET Barcode?

POSTNET is a barcode symbology used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to encode zip codes on mailpieces. It is a one-dimensional barcode that consists of tall and short bars, with each bar representing a number in the zip code. POSTNET barcodes have two states: full bars and half bars, with full bars representing binary 1 and half bars representing binary 0. POSTNET barcodes can be printed directly onto envelopes, labels, or other mailpieces, and can be read by a variety of scanning devices, including handheld scanners and automated mail sorting machines. The use of POSTNET barcodes enables USPS to process and deliver mail more efficiently, as it eliminates the need for manual sorting of mail by postal workers. One of the advantages of POSTNET barcodes is that they are easy to generate and print using software applications, such as USPS-approved barcode software. This makes it easy for businesses and individuals to include POSTNET barcodes on their mailpieces, improving the accuracy and efficiency of USPS mail processing. Another advantage of POSTNET barcodes is their reliability. They are designed to withstand the rigors of the mail delivery process, including exposure to moisture and rough handling, ensuring that the encoded data remains legible and accurate.
