The Delivery Point Barcode (DPBC) is a specific type of barcode used by the USPS to encode the delivery point information of a mailpiece. This barcode enhances the automation of mail sorting and delivery processes by allowing machines to quickly and accurately read the encoded address data. The DPBC typically includes information such as the ZIP+4 code and the delivery point, helping to streamline the routing and delivery of mail.
By including a DPBC on mailpieces, senders can improve delivery speed, reduce the likelihood of errors, and qualify for certain postal discounts. The DPBC plays a vital role in ensuring that mail is delivered efficiently and accurately within the USPS system.
