ZIPkoodi

ZIPkoodi is a term used in the Finnish postal system to refer to a postal code. These codes are numerical identifiers used to sort and deliver mail efficiently within Finland. A Finnish ZIPkoodi typically consists of five digits. The first two digits generally indicate a specific municipality or a larger geographic area. The subsequent digits further refine the delivery location, distinguishing between different districts, neighborhoods, or even specific streets within a town or city. The Finnish postal service, Posti, assigns and manages these ZIPkoodi. Using the correct ZIPkoodi is crucial for ensuring that mail, packages, and other postal items reach their intended recipients accurately and without delay. When addressing mail within Finland, the ZIPkoodi is usually placed on the line above the street address and city name. This system helps streamline the sorting process at postal facilities, allowing for automated reading and routing of mail. Residents and businesses are expected to know and use the appropriate ZIPkoodi for their location.
