Abstract

See full text

The subject matter discussed herein relates to a method and system for the processing of mail items with respect to mail item bin capacity. The present method and system ensure that mail piece grouping of larger volumes are assigned to larger capacity bins. As a result, the frequency at which mail sweeps must be conducted during a mail job is minimized, and in turn improves the overall efficiency of a sort operation. In addition, the present method and system enables the high capacity bins to be sorted to with respect to volume at the beginning or end of a mail processing device to accommodate different material handling needs.
