Why we’re different
One of only two UK companies with our own Royal Mail-approved franking ink
Mailcoms became a Royal Mail Authorised Independent Inspector and Maintainer of franking machines in 2008. We’re one of only two companies in the UK 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 — no rejected mail, no compliance worry, no compromise on cost.
