733 2:  Mail Presort
Presort Services, Inc. began in 1982 by hand-sorting thousands of pieces of mail a day.  Today's technology makes hand-sorting a thing of the past.  As one of the first presorters to use MLOCR technology for automating the presort process, Presort Services remains a leader in the presort industry.

MLOCRs use specialty optics to 'read' the address on the mail and assign a delivery-point barcode to each piece and allows for postage discounts.  Upon verification of accuracy, additional incentives are offered for levels of sortation known as Value Added Refunds (VAR).  Presort Services will pass a portion of these discounts to your agency.

Technology also enables us to use systems like Remote Video Encoding (RVE) to assign barcodes to mail that is traditionally 'unreadable' like address that are handwritten or labels that are not quite straight on the mailpiece.
