Abstract

Postal items that have been constrained by clips (6) can be tran sported through a postal system whilst hanging from rails. These rails may form part of a fully integrated sorting machine or one or more individual processing modules. Preferably the postal items are orientated transverse to the transport direction and are suspended from a guide. An identifier is associated with each item. The attachment portion for the postal item may comprise adhesive tape.
