ZIP + 4 First Day of Issue: October 22, 1985 First Issue Location: Washington, D.C. As a step to improve the speed and effectiveness of handling the mail, the United States Postal Service de- veloped the Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) in 1963. This plan consisted of five-digit numbers in addition to the designation of the address, town and state. To encourage people to take advantage of this timesaving coding sys- tem, advertising campaigns were developed using the cartoon figure “Mr. ZIP.” However, as the volume of mail increased annually, the five-digit ZIP code has lost much of its original effectiveness. Thus, in 1978, the Postal Service announced a plan to assign four add-on digits to the existing Code group. The “ZIP + 4" program was started on October 1, 1983. Primarily used for businesses, the Postal System gave postage discounts to mailers who used the new coding system. In 1985, the Postal Service issued a special 21.1c stamp to meet the volume First-Class rate for mailers who use the new nine-digit ZIP Codes. By using the new “ZIP + 4," the Postal Service expects to save $900 million a year. No. 85-59 ©1985 The Maximum Card Collection A Division of Unicover Corporation .
