POSTNET encodes a 5-, 9- or 11-digit number to
represent a 5-digit ZIP Code (32 bars), a 9-digit ZIP
+ 4 code (52 bars) or an 11-digit Delivery Point code
(62 bars).
USPS sack label 8-digit 2 of 5 is a modified
interleaved 2-of-5 code.
The bar code encodes the 5-digit ZIP Code
destination of the sack and the 3-digit content
identifier number (CIN) applicable to the content of
the sack.
