The POSTNET barcode is being replaced.
Plan your envelope purchases and inventory carefully.

POSTNET barcodes will be replaced by the Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB). This will effect barcoded outgoing mail, Business & Courtesy Reply mail pieces.

The original January 2011 required transition date has been postponed but, the USPS is encouraging all mailers to become compliant now as the conversion will be forthcoming, after which items with the old POSTNET barcode will not be accepted, so order your envelope inventories accordingly.

Therefore, the Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) should be used now for all new or reprinted items.

A Sample of the new barcode is shown at the top of this page. A component of the code is a Mailer ID number (MID). Whether you are wanting to establish a new permit, or migrate your existing, having a Mailer ID Number (MID) is a requirement of the process.

To obtain a MID each mailer (company) is encouraged to access the USPS Business Customer Gateway and apply for their MID at: https://gateway.usps.com/bcg/login.htm

Scroll down or Click here if you wish to learn the steps required to request a MID (Click here for a printable PDF)

Notify The USPS when you obtain your MID, and they will gladly generate a new BRM layout for you.

Contact Omega if you'd like to further discuss.
