Barcodes

ACS mailers might want to place their ZIP+4® barcodes or delivery point barcodes in the address block. All ACS mailpieces mailed at automation rates must meet all requirements for barcodes set forth in the DMM 507.3.2.5. If you use barcodes, three locations are acceptable:

1. When using a mailer keyline, place the barcode between the top line of the address information and the mailer keyline. When not using a mailer keyline, place the barcode between the top line of the address information and the participant code.

2. Below the City-State-ZIP Code line.

3. Above the participant code/OEL, except when placing the participant code under DMM 507.3.2.4.c.
