What is a "Zebra Code"?

For a detailed description of the Zebra Code, please refer to the United States Postal Service Domestic Mail Manual M032 Barcoded labels section.

Zebra Code:

The zebra code is a series of diagonal or vertical marks to the right of the barcode that serves as a visual indication that a tray contains automation rate mail. The diagonal or vertical marks must each be from 0.25 to 0.375 inch high, and from 0.125 to 0.25 inch wide, separated by blank spaces equal in size to the diagonal or vertical marks. The zebra code is required on tray labels in automation rate mailings; it is not required on co-trayed automation and Presorted rate mailings. The zebra code must not appear on tray labels for nonautomation rate mail.
