Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0647923A2] The method for verifying mailpieces comprises the creation of predetermined bit-mapped indicias which are printed on a mailpiece (12, 14, 16) and are changed in accordance with a predetermined pattern on each successive printing. The pattern will allow an animated sequence to occur as the mailpieces of a batch are flipped through. The animated sequence may be associated with a particular mailer. The animation during the flipping will allow postal officials to swiftly check to assure against some modes of fraudulent copying of postal indicias. <IMAGE>
