Sack Label is used by United
States Postal Services (USPS) for labeling of postal sacks; for automation rate
mailings; for periodicals and standard mail (letter size & flat size pieces).
It contains the "ZIP code" of the receiver and a "Content
Identifier Number".
The value to encode length is fixed to 8 digits and it must
have the following structure:

The "Content Identifier Number" [CIN] indicates this
information:
