Meter Imprint (or Meter Stamp) Postage stamp printed directly on a piece of mail or tape
using a meter device in place of traditional glue or adhesive
affixed stamps. This type of postage requires a special form
of indicia called an “information based indicia” (IBI). The
US Postal Service’s IBI Program (IBIP) is the program that
makes printing of postage by a meter device possible.
