What is IBIP?
The United States Postal Service (USPS) initiated the Information-Based
Indicia Program (IBIP) to enhance the security of postage metering by
supporting new methods of applying postage to mail. The information
based indicia (IBI) is printed by the postage meter or other forms of PC
postage systems on mail pieces. The IBIP program is designed to give the
post office greater visibility & security of mail. In addition, the use
of the 2-D barcode removes levels of sorting within the mailing process
cycle, which in turn will speed the delivery of a mail piece.
What information is included in the
2-D bar code?
Above is a sample of an information based indicia (IBI) along with a
sample company logo which would be imprinted by mymail on an
envelope. Your company logo can be replaced with a company
advertisement, which you can change and customize. The 2-D barcode
includes the following information; licensing post office, rate
category, date of mailing, postage amount, device or meter ID number.
