Backhome barcodes in mail

You're referring to the "Back Home" barcodes that are sometimes included in mail packages!

The "Back Home" barcode is a type of tracking label used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to track packages. It's a unique identifier that's printed on the outside of a package, usually on the top or side, and contains information about the package, such as:

  1. Package ID: A unique identifier for the package.
  2. Tracking number: A unique number that can be used to track the package's movement.
  3. Shipping details: Information about the sender, recipient, and shipping carrier.
  4. Package dimensions: The length, width, and height of the package.

The "Back Home" barcode is usually printed in a rectangular shape and is often accompanied by other tracking information, such as the package's weight, dimensions, and shipping carrier.

When you receive a package with a "Back Home" barcode, you can use it to track the package's movement by visiting the USPS website or using a tracking app. Simply enter the tracking number or scan the barcode to get updates on the package's status.

It's worth noting that not all packages have a "Back Home" barcode, and some packages may have different types of tracking labels or no tracking information at all.
