The breadth of what makes up the USPS requirements for manifest mailing can be very technical, and very detail oriented. It is not the intention of this document to provide a knowledge-base for those requirements. These requirements are, in fact, what AutoMail® "automates" on your behalf. With that in mind, there are resources provided by USPS which clearly outline the many facets of manifest mailing; from the Intelligent Mail® barcode and it's specifications, envelope specifications, tray specifications, etc. See, also, the Mailpiece section for more information on how AutoMail® constructs a mailpiece in adherence to USPS specifications.. Below are a some key URLs which will point to particular USPS resources in relation to manifest mailing.
