The right Pitney Bowes franking machine labels are self-adhesive labels that fit your specific model, print a crisp Mailmark 2D barcode, and meet Royal Mail standards so your mail is not rejected. For most Pitney Bowes machines this means a double sheet label (150mm x 43mm); larger items, return addresses or tracked services use long, extra-long or single-cut formats.
If you’re using a Pitney Bowes franking machine, choosing the correct labels isn’t just about fit – it’s about print quality, Royal Mail compliance, barcode accuracy and keeping your postage costs under control. In this 2026 guide, we’ll explain:
- Which Pitney Bowes labels fit which machines.
- The difference between single, double and long labels.
- Mailmark label requirements.
- OEM vs compatible labels.
- How to avoid common label problems.
Whether you run a DM60 or a high-volume SendPro model, this guide will help you buy the right labels with confidence.
Why Choosing the Right Pitney Bowes Franking Machine Labels Matters
At Mailcoms, we’ve spent over a decade supplying high-quality compatible and original franking labels for Pitney Bowes franking machines. We manufacture all of our labels here in the UK and ensure they meet Royal Mail standards. Using incorrect or poor-quality labels can cause:

Original vs Compatible Pitney Bowes Franking Machine Labels – What’s the Difference?
This is one of the most common questions we get, so let’s break it down.
Original (OEM) labels:
- Made by the equipment manufacturer – in this case Pitney Bowes.
- Higher cost.
- Trusted by brand-loyal customers.
- Suitable for leased machine agreements.
Compatible labels (designed to meet Royal Mail requirements):
- Made in the UK to meet Royal Mail requirements.
- Lower cost, meaning significant cost savings.
- Designed for Mailmark barcode accuracy.
- Does not void warranty.
- Guaranteed equal or better quality – in fact, many of our customers say our compatible labels are better than what they buy from Pitney Bowes.
Thousands of UK businesses now use compatible labels to reduce running costs without sacrificing quality.
How to Store Franking Machine Labels Properly
A common problem we have found is that some customers buy multiple packs of franking labels to use over a long period, and when they open the last pack the labels are curling and the adhesive has broken down. This often happens when the labels are not stored in the correct conditions. To extend franking label life:
- Store in a cool, dry environment.
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Keep sealed in original packaging.
- Avoid humidity exposure.
