In order for the written letter to reach the addressee faster, you need to write the zip code correctly. The postal workers assure the only way to guarantee the correct dispatch and delivery of postal items. Most importantly, writing an index is not such a big deal.
Instructions
Step 1
The zip code exists throughout the postal world. But in different countries it assumes a different number of digits. At the moment, a six-digit postal indexing system has been adopted in Russia. The first three digits indicate belonging to a particular region, and the last three show the number of a particular post office. That is why the index on the postal envelope is a kind of identifier for the item. With the help of special sorting machines, mail is divided according to the place of departure. That is why you need to write the index very correctly. First, it is written first in the field of the main text. And then it needs to be duplicated on special fields, which are defined by dots.
Step 2
The height of the dots corresponds to the height of the scanners. You need to write the index according to a clearly indicated writing scheme, which is indicated on the back of the envelope. It is necessary to write this way again in order to make it easier for the devices to read all the necessary information.
Step 3
You can fill in the index with any ink other than red, yellow, and green. And the best choice for a zip-fill pen is plain black or blue ink, ideally one that won't shed when exposed to moisture.
Step 4
It should be remembered that specialized envelopes - decorative or issued on the occasion of some holiday - as a rule, do not have a special code for the index. Therefore, it is more difficult for the checking system to correctly indicate the index on them. This means that delivery to the addressee is much more complicated. Post workers warn about this and recommend giving preference to all the same standard envelopes with a specific place for writing the postal code.
