Russian Post implements bar code system identifying postal stamps

All affiliated branches implement plastic postal stamps with bar code identification. Containers, polymeric returnable boxes and pockets containing items will have plastic stamps with unique bar code identifying its number. This helps to fill in number of stamp to consignment automatically that simplifies and forces preparation of documentation and prevents human factor mistakes.

Bar code provides extra control over post delivery at all stages of processing and transporting. When scanning bar code, computer automatically fills in the corresponding stamp number that has been made manually before. It helps to improve operators working conditions and reduce time for processing.

Examples of stamps with bar code identification have been successfully tested for scanning and tamper resistance.

In future identification system of plastic stamps will supersede former out-of-date lead and wax seals. At the first stage bar code identification system is to be implemented in post offices having necessary software and scanning devices.
