Confusing? Yes, it is! Let us try to help you understand this before you mail next year.
The Intelligent Mail Barcode or IMB, is now the only barcode acceptable to claim automated barcode discounts. The old POSTNET barcode is no longer acceptable.
Also, the IMB is required on all Courtesy Reply Mail (CRM), Meter Reply Mail and Business Reply Mail (BRM). A mailer ID is also required to use this new bar code. If this is just one more thing you do not want to do, call us. We can help.
Phoenix Mailing has been using the IMB on outgoing mail for a number of years. For customers using a reply envelope within a mailing, we can help you get the proper Barcode.
