The Simple Steps

To Postal Savings with

Commingling, Copalletizing& Consolidating the 3 C’s of Sorting

& NPI Sorters with Sort Genie Software

CONSOLIDATE• To combine pallets of mail together for

trucking to destinations.

COPALLETIZATION• To combine and present together on

pallets, trays from two or more different or separately produced mailstreams. Often done by using a trucking Consolidator. Driving more mail to SCF Entry levels.

COMMINGLE• To combine and present together in one

mailing, mail pieces from two or more mailstreams for the purpose of expediting service level and reducing postal costs. Driving more mail to 5-Digit and 3-Digit level.

WHY do just one, how about ALL of them?Now isn’t that true Postal Optimization?

COPALLETIZE OR COMMINGLE or CONSOLIDATE? WHAT ABOUT DOING ALL OF THEM?

With commingling, you are combining mail pieces instead of mail trays or pallets. Thus, generating postal savings by increasing your ZIP qualifications, and providing a better opportunity to drop ship more volume. Now you are ready to Copalletize and/or Consolidate for even better Destination Entry Discounts, but now you have done EVERYTHING possible to ensure Postal Optimization and more predictable In Home Dates!!

Are you only Copalletizing of Consolidating?Are you Capturing all the Savings possible?

• When you are processing smaller volume mailings that have a high concentration in local and regional areas or the mail is Carrier Routed Mail (even then cost savings preparing carrier route can offset savings by Commingling with Copalletization). Analyzing your cost vs. savings with both methods. Sort Genie can assist you.

• Copalletization takes trays of mail from different jobs that have the same drop point, ZIP code range, etc. and puts them on the same pallet. Increasing SCF Entry qualification typically by utilizing a Consolidator.

WHERE IS COPALLETIZATION OF VALUE?Sometimes Copalletization Alone is Enough but Not Always!
