POSTNET barcodes can be found all over for sale and even by searching the web. I found uspsbar.zip that way. I can't find the creator of it or much about it but it seems to work. I have no idea about distributing it.

Sizes and placement on a mailpiece is very specific. You can get templates from the USPS.

Barcodes are not of much value on mail unless you are trying to achieve a rate reduction using them. If that's the case, you need to have a permit at your local bulk mail center and your list must be CASS Certified. Supporting documentation will be required at the bulk mail center.

If you need further info, you can email me and I'll be glad to help.
