The USPS® is mandating a new industry-wide technology standard – Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) – to improve service and efficiency. Changes like these raise questions, and we want you to know the facts.
What You Need To Know
● Effective June 30, 2024, all Information Based Indicia (IBI) meter technology will be discontinued.*
● To remain compliant and avoid service disruption mailers must switch to an Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) solution.
● If your device is still non-compliant after this date a grace period will be provided, however, it will need to be withdrawn from service by the end of 2024.*
● As an approved USPS partner, Pitney Bowes has you covered with a suite of IMI-compliant solutions.
