1. Flexible and Dynamic Co-Palletization

2. What is Co-Palletization? (Co-Pal)
Co-Pal is a postal program that allows for trays of mail from multiple jobs to be combined in order to achieve a greater destination-entry discount:
Origin to NDC
Origin to SCF
NDC to SCF
Carrier route, 5-Digit, and AADC
trays can be upgraded for SCF
entry
MxAADC trays can be upgraded
for NDC entry
Mixed working trays are not eligible for upgrade
Offshore mail can co-pal, but no USPS discount is applied

3. Mystic’s Streamlined Co-Pal Process
Mystic Pools Trays and Ships to USPS
Pallets Shipped to Mystic for Co-Pal Sorting
Updated Mail.dat is Uploaded to PostalOne
Mail Trays are Produced and Palletized
Amadeus Qualifies, Marks, and Returns Updated File
Mail.dat Files Dropped to Amadeus FTP Folder
Mystic’s unique approach to co-pal allows for a much greater flexibility for lettershops
Entire jobs, or individual pallets can be qualified for co-pal
Pallet counts are typically reduced 40 to 60% when co- palletizing an entire mailing
Co-Pal qualification is fast enough to occur “Just in Time” with no mailing production changes
Mystic’s Co-Pal SCF penetration is > 96%
Daily co-pal pools result in far better in-home performance compared with NDC or Origin entry, and introduce little to no delay to our drop-ship delivery pipeline

4. Option A – 100% Co-Pal
Mail shop produces max-height Mixed NDC Pallets. This is the simplest approach and reduces the number of pallets produced by 40-60%. Common for national mailings < 100k pieces.

5. Option B – Produce NDC only Pallets, and SCF when possible
Mail shop sets a high threshold for producing SCF-level pallets. Eligible SCF pallets and the remaining NDC pallets achieve SCF entry through co-pal. This combination is a good compromise of maximum postage savings and less pallets being produced up front. Common for mailings between 100k and 250k pieces.

6. Option C – Produce NDC / SCF Pallets as Normal
High-volume lettershops with ample production floor space may be producing mostly SCF pallets already. In this case co-pal may be leveraged to upgrade any residual NDC or potentially Origin entry skids. Common for mailings > 250k pieces.
