The barcode is a series of bars that is read by the postal machines, and it represents the delivery point address. The space needed to inkjet the barcode is 4\u201d wide by 2\u201d tall. Preparing mail automated presorted gets you the cheapest postage.<\/p>\n<p>If there is no room for a barcode, the mail may be prepared presorted, which will still give you cheaper postage rates than if it is not presorted. That\u2019s considered\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">non-automated presorted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0099cc;\">Machinable<\/span> means the mail piece can run through the postal machines and the address can be read by the machines. This refers to the size of the piece and the ratio of the length vs. the height of the piece.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0099cc;\">Non-machinable<\/span><\/strong> means the size ratio does not meet requirements to be read by the postal machines and a postal employee must read the address and process the mail manually.
