The POSTAL barcode is used to automate the handling of mail. POSTAL codes use a series of tall and short bars to represent the digits.
  • ^BZ
     supports a print ratio of 2.0:1 to 3.0:1.
  • Field data (
    ^FD
    ) is limited to the width (or length, if rotated) of the label and by the barcode specification.
If additional information about the POSTAL and PLANET barcode is required, go to www.aimglobal.org, or contact the United States Postal Service at http://pe.usps.gov. If additional information about the INTELLIGENT MAIL barcode is required, see: http://ribbs.usps.gov/OneCodeSolution.
