Mailmark is a 2D barcode that will allow Royal Mail to track and count every mail piece in their system and report on it back to their customers; enhancing visibility, inspiring trust, maximising efficiencies and leading to a better understanding of your customers.


Opus Trust Marketing became the very first early adopter to print and process documents using Royal Mail's new Mailmark™ innovation, as the first communications with this new technology left our site on Wednesday 12th February with members of the Royal Mail marketing team.

Opus Trust Post Product Manager Darren McDonnell left our building at 3pm, battled through the storms and 100mph winds in order to track the progress of the very first Mailmark™ delivery.

Their journey took them from Leicester via the Royal Mail national distribution centre in Daventry all the way to a door step in Romford for delivery the following morning.

This was important for us and Royal Mail and Darren with his in depth postal knowledge and experience of the process was trusted to accompany the delivery to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Mailmark™ will benefit our customers, by providing visibility of statistics for all mail consignments using the Mailmark™ service after they have left our building.

Mailmark™ will watch and track the movement of every communication we send across the country, providing our customers with the comfort and confidence that their communications are being well looked after throughout the delivery process.
Here are the steps taken along the first MailmarkTM delivery:

• E-manifest sent to Royal Mail

• More than 124,000 mail packs produced and printed at Opus Trust Leicester

• The mail is loaded onto a Royal Mail lorry to begin its onward journey

• Mail piece checked and manually processed at the Royal Mail Distribution Centre in Daventry

• The work then gets split into trays and sent to all corners of the UK, we followed the trays to the Romford Mail Centre. This is where the mail is processed as the intelligent barcode is read and data identified as read and ticked off the manifest.

• The communications are then walk sequenced at the Romford delivery office, event recorded against the manifest and bagged ready for delivery.

• The postman delivers the Mailmark™ coded post and the journey is complete.

Paul Brough, Opus Trust Marketing's Managing Director said: "We have invested a considerable amount of time and resources in Mailmark™ and its previous pilots and trials over the last 6 years. I am very proud of our team's achievement in producing the first ever Mailmark™ mailing and we look forward to rolling it out to our customers over the coming months".
