Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) is a type of barcode used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) for mail tracking and sorting. It combines the features of earlier barcode formats (POSTNET and PLANET) into a single system, allowing for more efficient mail processing and enhanced tracking capabilities. IMB includes information such as the sender’s routing code, tracking number, and delivery point, providing USPS and mailers with detailed tracking and sorting data for letters, flats, and postcards.
IMB is used in business and enterprise environments where accurate mail delivery and tracking are critical. It allows companies to track the progress of their mailings through USPS systems, ensuring delivery performance and providing detailed reporting.
