USPS PLANET Code for large-format mail-merge placement

Teams reproducing historical large-format mail pieces use this generator with a fixed bar height applied for that placement.

Same generator, one preset applied

This experience uses the same USPS PLANET capability as the primary generator, with a fixed 15mm bar height ("height": 15) preset.

Example data

The generator is seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid 11-digit value, distinct from the primary's example.

Workflow

Enter your 11 or 13-digit tracking code, confirm the computed check digit is accepted, then export SVG for the mail-merge template.

Job-specific settings

No job-specific options beyond the fixed bar height are applied here.

Scanning notes

Keep clear white space above and below the bar pattern; the four bar heights carry meaningful data and must remain distinguishable from one another.

Common mistakes

Supplying anything other than exactly 11 or 13 digits (excluding the check digit) is the most common rejection.

Standard

USPS PLANET is documented in the bwip-js/BWIPP symbology reference. The USPS retired the format in 2013.
