Example of a parcel barcode label used in courier shipments

As the name suggests, a parcel barcode number is a parcel-specific barcode printed on the parcel so that deliveries with similar characteristics can be sent in a separate parcel.

Like a regular barcode number, the parcel barcode number is produced in accordance with EAN-13 standards.

  • In the Outgoing Courier File, the parcel barcode number and barcode number information appear in a format similar to the one below.
  • The courier company delivers the records whose parcel barcode field is filled in as a separate parcel.

What kind of advantage can this structure offer to the bank?

Currently, assuming the bank pays 2 TL per shipment for the 100 items to be sent to branch X, it pays 2 x 100 = 200 TL,

In the parcel barcode structure, the courier company charges a shipping fee per parcel. For example, the shipping fee for 1 parcel is 30 TL.

By making a bulk shipment, the bank saves 170 TL on the shipment of 200 cards.
