CEP

What does CEP stand for?

The term CEP is the abbreviation for "Courier, Express and Parcel Services". It refers to postal and logistics companies that primarily transport consignments with comparatively low weight and volume - such as letters, small packages, documents or small items.

These restrictions on dimensions and weight allow a high degree of standardisation in processing. As a result, the handling and sorting of the objects to be transported can be easily (partially) automated. In this way, consignments can be transported in a short time and with high efficiency.
