Why should presorters generate Mail.dat files?
As the industry-standard, Mail.dat enables individual mailers and the mailing community, at large, to function more efficiently and cost-effectively. When presorters generate Mail.dat files for their mailings, they increase the opportunities for mailers and others in the production chain to take advantage of this highly useful information. As this data becomes more widely available, its usage will continue to grow in letter-shops, printing facilities, logistics companies and among mail owners themselves. As greater efficiencies are achieved through the use of Mail.dat data, costs and processing time will be reduced industry wide, to the advantage of all who participate in the mailing community.
