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.
