Electronic Round Stamps on Postage Statements
As of March 15, 2010, the United States Postal Service® stopped manually applying a round stamp receipt on hard-copy postage statements submitted at facilities equipped with PostalOne!® This means a lot of mailers will no longer get a physical marking of mail verification and acceptance on their Postage Statements. Other mailers facing the same issue are those that are required to transmit Postage Statements electronically via the USPS PostalOne! system in order to participate in the Intelligent Mail® Full-Service option.

Window Book's DAT-MAIL post-presort software has been enhanced to enable mailers to generate and print an Electronic Round Stamp on their Postage Statement receipts. Once PostalOne! finalizes the postage statement, DAT-MAIL can produce an eRound Stamp™ on the postage statement receipt with the corresponding Mailing Group ID# and PS# from PostalOne! This is just one of the many ways DAT-MAIL enhances mailing systems when mailers begin transmitting electronic documentation online using the PostalOne! system.

Email postalspecialist@windowbook.com for more information on Electronic Round Stamp.

Get Started with eDocs and PostalOne!
 Do you need help with eDocs using Mail.dat® or Mail.XML™? How about certified Intelligent Mail Tray/Container labels? Please email postalspecialist@windowbook.com if you have any questions. We can help you make a smooth transition to eDocs.

White Paper Presort and Post-Presort Software: You Need Both to Optimize Your Mailings
When it comes to mailing, there are two essential types of software: presort software and post-presort software. In order to optimize your mailing, it is essential to use both presort and post-presort software. By using post-presort software you will be able to:

• Easily edit and generate updated Mail.dat® and Mail.XML™ data
• Build your postal documentation to reflect what you actually mailed vs. building your mailing to your initial planned documentation
• Avoid paying for spoilage or mailpieces that did not get mailed
• Generate and manage Intelligent Mail® Barcode (IMb) for trays and pallets
• and more…
