POSTNET

POSTNET encodes a ZIP code in bar height rather than bar width: five bars per digit, two of them tall. It carried the ZIP, the ZIP+4 or the eleven-digit delivery point code, and the United States Postal Service retired it in favour of the Intelligent Mail Barcode.

Examples

A ZIP+4 code

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$barcode = new \Com\Tecnick\Barcode\Barcode();
$bobj = $barcode->getBarcodeObj(
    type: 'POSTNET',
    code: '123456789',
    width: -3,
    height: -30,
    color: 'black',
    padding: [0, 0, 0, 0],
)->setBackgroundColor('white');

echo $bobj->getInlineSvgCode();

An eleven-digit delivery point code

$bobj = $barcode->getBarcodeObj(
    type: 'POSTNET',
    code: '12345678901',
    width: -3,
    height: -30,
    color: 'black',
    padding: [0, 0, 0, 0],
)->setBackgroundColor('white');
