What’s meant by the term “Automation Compatible”?
Automation compatible simply means your mail piece has met all the criteria set forth by the USPS that allows it to be scanned and sorted and routed by machine rather than sorted by hand. In this way, your mail flows faster and has far less chance of delivery error. It costs far less for the USPS to process mail in this manner, therefore when your mail is automation compatible, it will cost you less to mail as you will receive “automation rates” from USPS.
