- Create Traveler Page: A traveler page is a unique ID that represents the tracking number for members of organizations who create mail pieces that must travel to their mailroom for tracking label application (e.g. 4 x 2.5 thermal label). Traveler pages are affixed to a mailing by the mail piece creator, sent to the mailroom and when arriving in the mailroom are scanned by the mailroom administrator to create the tracking label with a USPS compliant IMpb barcode (tracking number) that will be permanently affixed to the mailing before being placed in the mailstream.
