Pitney Bowes launches website for USPS rate changes

Posted by | Mar 29, 2007 | |

Pitney Bowes Inc. has launched a website to guide mail operators and marketers through the newly-announced US Postal Service rate changes. Located at www.pbpostalinfo.com and at www.PitneyBowes.com, Pitney Bowes offers the tools, terms and tips that reduce costs and maximize opportunities in the new postal rate environment.

The 2007 USPS rate change focuses on the shape and size of mail pieces. This is especially important for firms that send high volumes of transactional mail such as financial and insurance statements, and for direct mailers of postcard offers, catalogues and credit card offers. Nuances in how mail operators and marketers optimize their mailstream can mean millions of dollars in both savings and revenue.

A recent Pitney Bowes survey of more than 500 business executives nationwide indicated that 79% of respondents are unaware of the changes in postal rates and regulations. This widespread lack of knowledge about an important business event cuts across all organizational sizes and all regions of the country.

The Pitney Bowes website features a custom rate change interactive tool that helps mailers and marketers determine areas of impact so they may adapt their mail operations according to the new USPS rates. In addition to direct links to the USPS official site, Pitney Bowes adds ongoing news, facts and educational information that quickly and clearly outline tips and advice for mailers and marketers.

Pitney Bowes highlights mailstream technology at National Postal Forum

Posted by | Mar 20, 2007 | |

Pitney Bowes Inc. is showcasing a broad range of mailstream technology, services and expertise to participants in National Postal Forum being held at the Washington Convention Center March 25-28.

The postal industry’s largest show comes at a time of unprecedented change for major mailers. The landmark postal reform bill signed into law in December promises new opportunities for mailstream users, and a pending price increase from the United States Postal Service (USPS) drives the need for fresh approaches to creating, producing and distributing mail, documents and packages.

Anticipating some of the significant changes coming this year in postal rates and rules, Pitney Bowes is demonstrating how the FPS™ Flexible Productivity Series inserter can help production mailers convert flat mailpieces to folded mailpieces. This can help customers take advantage of expected rates that create incentives to send letter-sized envelopes that are easier and less expensive for the U.S. Postal Service to process.

Pitney Bowes Group 1 Software will showcase the Address Quality Hub, a new address cleansing software platform that improves mail deliverability and maximizes postal discounts.

The Pitney Bowes display will also feature the industry’s fastest cutter, the servo-powered HPI-72C, which processes 72,000 documents per hour. The input works with a heavy-duty folder to deliver outstanding performance when processing high-page-count applications on Pitney Bowes high-speed inserters.

Additional solutions on display will include the DM Infinity™ Digital Mailing Station, a new stand-alone metering alternative that prints postage on sealed, single-weight envelopes, including postcards, with speed and precision up to 22,000 pieces per hour.

Regulus partners with Pitney Bowes to improve mail management

Posted by | Feb 20, 2007 | |

Regulus, the nation’s largest independent provider of paper and electronic-based bill presentment and processing solutions, announced today its successful compliance with Phase III of the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) Plan for Secure Postage Meter Technology. The new standards improve postage accounting capabilities for increased accuracy while strengthening postal security.

Regulus integrated Pitney Bowes’ industry-proven DM Infinity Series Digital Mailing System and its DFWorks Postage Accounting Solution into its nationwide network of document processing facilities. Pitney Bowes’ secure IBI-compliant technology is the most widely adopted digital metering standard in the industry.

The USPS’ overhaul of its metering standards began in 1995 and will last through at least 2008. Phase I retired all mechanical meters, Phase II retired all manually reset meters and Phase III migrates letterpress meters to the enhanced security of digitally printing meters. Compliance with Phase III is the result of a recently completed multimillion-dollar initiative in which Regulus bolstered its existing advanced mail monitoring technologies to meet ever-increasing security and compliance requirements.
