DPID Benefits

Australia Post efficiencies come via the mail sorting process through the use of barcoding. These efficiency increases lead to cost savings and quicker more accurate delivery for companies that incorporate barcodes in to their mailing practices. Australia Post passes their productivity savings on to customers in the form of increased discounts.

How Barcoded Mail and Express Multimedia's services will save you time and money

  • The 4-state barcode enables the inclusion of your own data. This is useful for tracking purposes such as dates or campaign number etc.
  • Your address design and layout is more flexible with a greater range of envelope designs, colours and fonts being acceptable for bulk mail lodgement
  • Mailing costs are reduced due to maximising mail discounts from Australia Post
  • Database ownership costs are reduced owing to the quality of address data and accuracy of delivery addresses
  • Return to sender and undeliverable mail is reduced saving you money with postal charges and saving you time on customer related address enquiries
  • Save time and money by not continuing to generate mail directed to undeliverable addresses on an ongoing basis. Just because the item is not returned to you doesn't mean that it found it's way to the intended recipient
  • The system opens up the possibility for cleaning up multiple databases containing common elements and/or matching ones even when spread across multiple database files

Greater Design Flexibility

Australia Post has relaxed the regulations on envelope design for barcoded mail. This gives your organisation greater flexibility of design. It enables you to use the envelope as a marketing device in a way previously not possible.

Address regulations are also relaxed to the extent of even allowing you to use any legible font of your choice.

Easier Access To Discounts With AdPOST

If your organisation distributes mail with a customer response device (such as an order form) you may be eligible for mail discounts under the AdPOST service. Currently two discount levels are available under AdPOST and a minimum of 500 articles per lodgement is required.

Greater Discounts Through Reply Paid

When you require your customers to respond to an offer or provide feedback you may want to use Australia Post's Reply Paid facility. To gain additional mailing discounts on this service your reply paid envelopes will need to be barcoded, reducing postage from 47 cents to 42 cents. The Reply Paid number will replace the PO Box or street address, appearing on the second last line of the address.
