How it works

Each letter has an article ID and a two-dimensional barcode. When the barcode is scanned, data is captured about the item as it travels through our delivery network to the recipient.

With our Imprint service, you create your own unique barcode based on our specifications and print it onto your mail articles. That way, each item is linked to your account, making it easy to track the status of multiple items at once.

A white envelope features a green border and is addressed to Mrs A Sample at 111 Bourke Street, Melbourne VIC 3000. The envelope displays a 'POSTAGE PAID AUSTRALIA' mark, a barcode, and an Australia Post tracking label with the number TMABC 1234 5487 8604 05092. The label includes a QR code and the text 'Imprint with tracking – use with a domestic letter.' The sender's address is listed as ABC Company Ltd, Nunawading VIC 3131.
