CAR-RT SORT is a United States Postal Service marking appearing above the sendee's address on traditional advertising mail such as store circulars, coupon books, and other bound printed matter (BPD). Advertisers receive a significant postage discount in return for delivering stacks of advertising mail to the postal service that are pre-counted to have the correct number of articles for each carrier's route. Thus the name CAR-RT SORT standing for Carrier Route Sort (or Presort).
Famous quotes containing the word sort:
“Close to the academy in this town they have erected a sort of gallows for the pupils to practice on. I thought that they might as well hang at once all who need to go through such exercises in so new a country, where there is nothing to hinder their living an outdoor life. Better omit Blair, and take the air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
