Appendix H US Mail Requirements
PLANET Code Bar Code
Postal Alpha-Numeric Encoding Technique (PLANET) provides features that are not currently
available with the POSTNET barcode. PLANET bar codes are broken down to a list of planets.
The following is a list of each planet and the applications supported by that planet’s particular
PLANET bar code.
Jupiter- A 12-digit barcode containing mail piece rate, presort bureau origin, and customer
identification.
Mercury - A 12-digit barcode used for CONFIRM or CIPS service.
Earth- A 12 digit barcode used for sorting foreign mail.
Pluto- A 12 digit barcode for automated address correction requests.
Saturn- A 12 or 14 digit barcode for RTS or CFS mail.
Neptune - A 12 digit barcode for mailer use.
Venus - A 12 or 14 digit barcode used for electronic tracking.
The PLANET bar codes have the exact same dimensional requirements as POSTNET barcodes.
Most PLANET barcodes are placed in the address block portion of the mail piece. Only
PLANET Earth and Saturn barcodes may be printed in the traditional lower right area.
