The zip code in the US is an encoding of the postal address to street or part of a street or block, but not house/apartment number. It aids sorting of letters to the mail round. The mail man still needs to see the address to get it to the correct mail box.
A letter without a ZIP can still be delivered, but will take longer to get there.

if you mean what i think you mean, the zipcode is made up of numbers e.g 80012 and the postal consists of numbers and letters e.g YO73 8JK

if you don't then yes the postal adress is the adress that you write on the envelope to who's house you want it to go to. but at the end of the adress you add the postal code or zipcode.

Postal adress is your street numer and name. Zipcode is your postal area code identifier; like the area code in phone numbers.

Postal address is where you live the street number, the street address and suburb.

Zipcode is just the digits of the suburb.

Its like Postcode (Australian) we don't use Zip code.
