BarTender Formats for the Sack and Tray Tags Required by the U.S. Post Office

As of July 1, 1997, the United States Post Office requires the usage of new sack tags and tray tags to receive the best bulk mail rate.

This page contains BarTender formats (templates) for a sack tag and a tray tag that fit within the United States Post Office tag specifications. These files are currently formatted for an HP LaserJet Series II printer, but can be modified quite easily to work for any other printer. Also included with the compressed (zipped) file below is a sample data file that is designed to work with these formats. You can modify the data in this sample data file using any text editor (such as Notepad).

After downloading either of the self-extracting files below, double-click the file icon (or run from a command line) and three (3) files will be extracted (sacktag.btw, traytag.btw, po_mail.dat). You will probably want to move these files to the same directory as your other BarTender formats.

Sack and Tray tags for 16-bit Bar Tender (created using version 4.28): postreg4.exe

Sack and Tray tags for 32-bit Bar Tender (created using version 5.0): postreg5.exe
