CASS Certification

List Management Services offers CASS Certification for mailers who plan to take advantage of lower "automation" postage rates. Our CASS Certification process will correct Zip codes, add Zip+4 and Delivery Point Barcodes (DPBC), standardize the address to conform to USPS standards and produce Form 3553; a required USPS document for all automation mailings.

List Management Services can also flag addresses that are known to be undeliverable so they can be omitted from the mailing. In addition, we can append Carrier Route (CRRT) codes to allow mail delivery to concentrated areas at even lower CRRT rates.

CASS Certified mailings qualify for the best possible postage discounts, speed delivery and reduce returned mail. Request CASS Certification on your next order - it is a key element for a successful direct marketing campaign.
