Labels On Demand

ATLAS encourages the production of labels on demand. Producing labels on demand results in unique labels that accurately reflect:

Originating/Destinating (OD) pairs
Mailer ID
Machine ID
Serial Number
Various Other Information, depending on flow

These key pieces of information are what you will input into ATLAS for label generation.

Note that there is a finite number of unique barcodes. After 7 internal days, or 30 days from plant to plant, ATLAS automatically recycles the barcode number so that it can be used again if it is not present in the system.
