Why we’re different

The only UK supplier of Royal Mail-approved compatible franking inks

Mailcoms became a Royal Mail Authorised Independent Inspector and Maintainer of franking machines in 2009. We’re one of only two companies in the world to have our own brand of blue and red franking ink approved by Royal Mail.

That means every Mailmark frank produced with a Mailcoms compatible cartridge is accepted by Royal Mail’s optical readers โ€” no rejected mail, no compliance worry, no compromise on cost.
