  • Useful Facts About Barcoding
    Useful Facts about Barcoding When Did Barcodes Begin? (Part 1) A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data relating to the object to which it is attached. Originally barcodes represented data by varying the widths and spacing’s of parallel lines and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D). Later they evolved into rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two dimensions (2D). Although 2D systems use a variety of symbols, they are generally referred to as barcodes as well. Barcodes originally were scanned by special optical scanners called barcode readers; later, scanners and interpretive software became available on devices including desktop printers and smartphones. Barcodes are on the leading edge of extraordinary things. They have given humans the ability to enter and extract large amounts of data in relatively small images of code. With some of the latest additions like Quick Response (QR) codes and Radio-frequency identification (RFID), it’s exciting to see how these complex image codes are being used for business and even personal use. The original idea of the barcode was first introduced in 1948 by Bernard Silver and Norman Joseph Woodland after Silver overheard the President of a local food chain talking about their need for a system to automatically read product information during checkout. Silver and Woodland took their inspiration from recognizing this rising need and began development on this product so familiar to the world now. After several attempts to create something usable, Silver and Woodland finally came up with their ”Classifying Apparatus and Method” which was patented on October 07, 1952.

  • DMM Advisory Keeping You Informed About Classification and Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service
    July 2, 2021 DMM Advisory Keeping you informed about classification and mailing standards of the United States Postal Service UPDATE 184: International Mail Service Updates Related to COVID-19 On July 2, 2021, the Postal Service received notifications from various postal operators regarding changes in international mail services due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The following countries have provided updates to certain mail services: Mauritius UPDATE: Mauritius Post has advised that the Government of Mauritius has announced the easing of COVID-related restrictions as of July 1, 2021, subject to strict adherence to sanitary protocols and measures. On July 15, 2021, Mauritius will gradually open its international borders. However, COVID-19 continues to have a direct impact on international inbound and outbound mails to and from Mauritius. Therefore, the previously announced provisions and force majeure continue to apply for all inbound and outbound international letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items. New Zealand UPDATE: New Zealand Post has advised that the level-2 alert in the Wellington region has ended as of June 29, 2021. Panama UPDATE: Correos de Panama has advised that post offices, mail processing centers (domestic and international) and the air transhipment office at Tocúmen International Airport are operating under normal working hours and the biosafety measures established by the Ministry of Health of Panama (MINSA). Correos de Panamá confirms that it is able to continue to receive inbound mail destined for Panama. However, Correos de Panama is unable to guarantee service standards for inbound and outbound mail. As a result, force majeure with respect to quality of service for all categories of mail items will apply until further notice.

  • Parcel Post Manual
    UNIVERSAL POSTAL UPU UNION Parcel Post Manual Berne 2013 International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union July 1, 2015 Parcel Post Manual (Update 3) Preface to Bookmarked Edition The Parcel Post Manual (2013) is published by the International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union. It reproduces the Universal Postal Convention adopted by the 2012 Doha Congress of the Universal Postal Union and the Parcel Post Regulations adopted by the Postal Operations Council. The 2012 Convention and associated Parcel Post Regulations will be in effect from January 1, 2014, until December 31, 2017. The International Bureau updates the Parcel Post Manual periodically to include new or revised Parcel Post Regulations adopted by the Postal Operations Council. In general, but with some exceptions, the Regulations are adopted by the Postal Operations Council under the general authority of Articles 113(1)(13) and 141 of the General Regulations and not pursuant to an explicit delegation of authority in the Convention. The most recent update of the Parcel Post Manual, Update 3, was published in March 2015. The Parcel Post Manual also includes copies of selected Resolutions and Decisions ("Other Decisions by Congress") adopted by the Doha Congress and related to the Parcel Post. The UPU treats these Resolutions and Decisions as binding legal measures although there is no provision in the Constitution which explicitly authorizes the Congress to act legislatively by resolution or decision. The order of presentation in the Parcel Post Manual does not follow the order of the Universal Postal Convention. Articles of the Convention are organized according to topics. Parcel Post Regulations (numbered, RL xxx) follow the Articles of the Convention to which they logically relate.
