Intelligent Mail: To Wait or Not to Wait?

By USPS definition, the IMB is used to sort and track letters, cards and flats, and offers enhanced versatility by allowing many services to be requested and embedded within one barcode. It combines the data of the existing Postnet and Planet Code barcodes, along with other data, into a single barcode. The barcodes are affixed to mail trays and containers, as well as the mail pieces.
