The FPi 500 is small and compact, so it fits into the smallest of offices while still delivering high performance. As long as you send around 50 items a day, you’ll see how it pays for itself. A job that would take a person half an hour takes the FPi 500 just a couple of minutes.

It is also easy to use, with clear instructions and one-touch buttons so even occasional users can operate it – simply press a button and watch the FPi 500 fold and insert your mail correctly and professionally.
