What is a Mailer ID?

This new feature gives users a tool to manage their MID assignments in Track N Trace® and perform serialization directly in BCC Mail Manager™.
The Mailer ID (MID) is a six or nine digit numeric identification number assigned by the USPS® to a Mail Owner or Mailing Agent based on annual volumes. A Mailer ID:
  • Is a required component in all Intelligent Mail barcodes (IMB)
  • Identifies the Mail Owner or Mailing Agent
  • Allows delegated parties to receive data feeds

What is a “Custom MID”?

Today, Track N Trace uses BCC Software MIDs for all IV-based mailpiece tracking. With the new “TNT Custom MIDs” option, you can use your own MIDs for IV-based mailpiece tracking.
  • Efficient Mail Monitoring

Mailpiece Creation and Tracking with a Custom MID

In cases where the USPS recommends a custom MID be used, customers who are using both BCC Mail Manager and TNT™ will be able to easily serialize and track mailings using a custom MID in one simple workflow.

How the solution works?

Manage MID Groupings on the TNT website. Enter and control all MIDs used for the same mailings with rollover properties.

Mailer Scorecard Integrity

Ensure MID customization and risks are balanced. File encryption keeps your data secure during transfers.

Tracking with the Custom MID in Mail Manager

Select MID groupings in the TNT Wizard. Use them to create tracking barcodes for your mailings.

Barcode Uniqueness

45-point uniqueness validation ensures proper serialization and easy tracking. USPS-certified support is available for assistance.

  • Effortless MID Management

Seamless Integration – A preview

Users can easily add, edit, or disable their custom MID within the Track N Trace platform.

Users can create MID groups with up to five rollover MIDs.

Once entered, BCC Mail Manager provides the option to select the MID prior to serialization and mailpiece creation.
