USPS Sending Strong Message to Businesses: Automation Pays; Adopters Save

The newest postage increases deal an even bigger financial blow to companies that have not shifted to automation-friendly packaging. It’s a signal to businesses to move toward packages that are automation friendly or face skyrocketing costs for postage. The already large price gap between automated mail, like letters and flats, and non-automated parcels will widen even further.
