DPID BARCODING
Delivery Point Identifier (DPID) is a unique number that Australia Post allocates to a physical addresses – as new buildings are built and new addresses are created, these numbers are updated and added to what is called the Postal Address File (PAF File). By printing a Barcode image of this number with an address, Australia Post can scan the code and automate some of the sorting process. Producing mail this way makes the mail eligible for Postal Discounts.
