Despite the many positives that can result from the new barcode, the IMB may introduce headaches for many during conversion. “If customer[s] put a Postnet on that mailcode today through their hardware or software, they’re going to need to change that. So, this is a very, very, very big deal for the mailers, and everyone is scrambling trying to figure out exactly how they’re going to do that,” Dally commented. “We have solutions that go far into the front end. Right from document creation, we can take a document that [has] a Postnet, and we can convert that Postnet to an IMB prior to it hitting the print stream. [Additionally,] we can take an outgoing piece of mail that has a Postnet on it and convert that barcode to an IMB through our sorting product line or our inserting product line.”
