Mail Merge

"We have an optical character reader machine that sorts incoming mail and sorts and bar codes outgoing mail for discounts," reveals Davis.

Likewise, Steenhoek's operation bar codes and sorts by zip code.

"Approximately 92 percent of all desk mail that is sent to our presort house is bar coded," he reveals. "We even sort, on the computer, our internal mailings by message station before addressing." The latter eliminated manual sorting.
