Quick Link
The Intelligent Mail barcode or IMB (formerly known as the 4-State Customer Barcode or 4CB or USPS4CB) is a new type of bar code introduced by USPS in USA. Although similar barcodes have been in use in other countries for quite a while, IMB gets accepted in USA recently. It can encode tracking code and routing number in 65 bars, hence combines the capabilities of the POSTNET™ barcode and the PLANET Code® barcode into one unique barcode. Unlike POSTNET and PLANET, where two variations of bars (long and short) have been used, IMB uses 4 variations of bars: tracker, ascending, descending, full. We will discuss these in details in barcode structure section.
Compose Intelligent Mail Barcode Data
As we already know that Intelligent Mail Barcode can encode tracking number which is 20 digits long and a routing number or delivery point zip code which can be 0 to 11 digits long. Therefore Intelligent Mail Barcode or IMB can encode up to 31 numeric values. Although alpha numeric value can be encoded with 4 state code, IMB only encodes numeric value for now.
- Tracking Code: Tracking code composed of the following sections:
Barcode Identifier |
2 (2nd digit must be 0–4)
E.g., Value Optional Endorsement Line (OEL) Description
00 Default / No OEL Information
10 Carrier Route (CR), Enhanced Carrier Route (ECR), and FIRM
20 5-Digit/Scheme
30 3-Digit/Scheme
Etc. |
It is assigned by USPS to encode the presort identification which is currently stated as human readable on the optional endorsement line (OEL). |
Service Type Identifier 3 |
3 digits long
700 = First-Class Mail with no services
702 = Standard Mail with no services
704 = Periodicals with no services
706 = Bound Printed Matter with no services |
It is also assigned by USPS for any combination of services requested on the mail piece. |
Mailer Identifier |
6 or 9 digits depending on serial number stated below.
Mailer ID & serial number combined should be 15 digits long |
The Mailer Identifier is a 6 or 9 digit number assigned by USPS to identify a business entity who is sending the mail piece.. |
Serial Number |
6 (when used with 9 digit Mailer ID)
9 (when used with 6 digit Mailer ID) |
The Serial Number is a 6 or 9 digit number set by the mailer to uniquely track and identify the mail piece. |
- The routing Number: The routing number or The Delivery Point ZIP Code is set by the mailer for routing the mail piece. Mailer can leave this blank or set to 5, 9, or 11 digits long.
Intelligent Mail barcode Dimension:
Intelligent mail Barcode is composed of 4 kinds of bars with 4 different heights. Smallest one is the Tracker which is the 3 times smaller than the longest bars which is called Full. Extra height is added to the top of the tracker tpo make it a Ascender bars and extra height is added to the bottom of the Tracker to make it Descender bars. In intelligent Mail bars bar and space can have different width. This produce another dimension unit called Pitch which is the distance from the center of a bar to the center of adjacent bar. We can expect to have 20 to 22 bars in one inches. Since Intelligent Mail barcode is composed of 65 bars, its width is also fixed regardless of input. As for quiet zone, it is about 0.028 inches vertically and 0.125 inches horizontally from the edge of the barcode. Let us take a look at the general barcode dimension criteria like bar width, space width, others in a table.
