Zip Codes
The zip code is a system for designating the location and expediting the delivery of mail and other packages. It was introduced by the United States Postal Service in 1963 and is currently employed in the United States and the Philippines.
Postal Codes
With the exception of the United States and the Philippines, every country in the world uses the postal code to mechanically sort mail. In contrast, postal codes were introduced in 1959 and are used globally. Depending on the location, postal codes may contain numbers, letters, and sometimes even punctuation.
Additionally, each country, state, zone, and district has its own unique postcodes that are administered by the local Postal Services Agency.
However, the terms Postal Codes and Zip Codes are interchangeable.
