IM®pb: What Are the Benefits? Which Parcels Need It? How Much Can You Save?

With Intelligent Mail package barcodes (IM®pb), the USPS® provides businesses with world-class service and tracking that is in line with UPS® and FedEx®. This is great news for businesses, and below we outline why. 

How Does IMpb Benefit Businesses? 

When using IMpb, businesses get advanced tracking on their packages and increased savings. Businesses can track their individual shipments online and see where and when their parcel was scanned, for no additional charge! You can easily update employees or customers on the location of important packages, providing peace of mind and optimum customer service. 

You can use IMpb labels to get the USPS' most discounted rates. Services like Priority Mail® are heavily discounted—sometimes up to 40%—for shippers that use IMpb labels. Plus, you can get automatic insurance up to $50 with Priority Mail and up to $100 with Priority Mail Express.
