Discontinuance of USPS Tracking Labels 888, 889, 891, and 892

Effective October 31, 2026, the Postal Service™ will discontinue the printing and distribution of the following USPS® Tracking labels.

 

External Versions (PC Postage Vendors)

Label 891 – Tracking w/Signature Confirmation Ins < $500

Label 892 – Tracking w/Signature Confirmation Ins > $500

Label 888 – USPS Tracking 50 labels / pad

Label 888 – USPS Tracking 2,000 labels / roll

Label 889 – Signature Confirmation, No Additional Ins

These labels are incompatible with updated USPS processing equipment and no longer support operational needs of the Postal Service. Eliminating these labels will improve visibility, tracking, service performance, and the customer experience.

Customers will continue to have many options to service their shipping needs. Metered customers must contact their postage meter provider for assistance with printing postage labels with tracking. Additional information on postage and tracking options for both metered and commercial customers can be found here usps.com/business/postage-options.htm.
