61. Developing A Printer Solution For The Swiss Post 5/10/2005
    The Swiss Post is responsible for moving huge quantities of goods every day. Most of the parcel mail posted by private customers are individual consignments and low in volume. An estimated 150 million parcels are transported by the Swiss Post every year. These differ in terms of their packaging, weight, and dimensions and also in terms of the quality of their packing.

To help achieve this, the parcels are given unique identification numbers that can be electronically recorded and tracked. Submitted by Cognitive Solutions, Inc.
