Franking Machines – What, How And Why
First patented in 1884, the postal meter – or Franking Machine as it is now known – is a machine for stamping your envelopes with evidence that your mail has been paid for.Long story short: If you have a franking machine in your office, it means no more trips down to the garage when you run out of stamps. Just input the amount of postage you need, and it will be automatically deducted from your account which can then be topped up over the phone, by prepaid card, via the Royal Mail’s website or via a direct internet connection.
We’re An Essex Business – Do We Need A Franking Machine?
Many shy away from getting a franking machine, either because they believe that they are only for large companies or because they are put off by the cost of procuring and maintain the unit itself. The truth is actually a lot friendlier.In reality, thousands of sole traders and small businesses in Essex use a franking machine every day, and they can afford to do so because of the savings they make on their postage. Compared to buying stamps over the counter, your business stands to save at least 3p per item on first class mail and 5p per item on second class, so any costs incurred by the franking machine will pay for themselves.Add to this the convenience and flexibility which comes with ownership, and the ability to be in complete control of your postage costs at all time, and it is easy to see why so many businessmen and women in Essex decide that a franking machine is the way to go.
