A ZIP Code is a 5-digit number that specifies an individual destination post office or mail delivery area. ZIP Codes determine the destination of letters for final sorting and delivery. Each ZIP Code designates a collection of delivery routes used by mail carriers and areas serviced by the USPS.

So what do the extra numbers mean? These last 4 digits represent specific delivery routes within delivery areas. This extra detail means an even more precise matching to a more granular level. It could represent a handful of houses on one side of a street, or even a single building that receives a high volume of mail.

You are right that the United States Postal Service writes ZIP Code with a capital Cand ZIP in all caps. You're also right about us. Though CMOS doesn't specifically rule on how to capitalize the term, it has rendered it as zip code (all lowercase) since it first appeared in the Manual in 1982 (in the 13th ed.).

A ZIP+4 Code or 9-Digit-ZIP Code is a 4-digit code added to the end of a 5-digit ZIP Code. The last 4 digits of each 9-digit ZIP Code indicate specific delivery routes of roughly 1-20 mailboxes, and the five digits before the +4 Code indicate the destination post office or delivery area.

You can format a cell or range of cells to display leading characters so that the postal code is preceded by enough characters to fill the cell's width. For example, you can use zeros or dashes to display a postal code as follows: 0000000 98052 or ------- 98052.
