Reasons to Frank Your Mail With a Franking Machine

Franking your mail with a franking machine is one of the simplest ways for a business to cut its postage costs. Royal Mail charges lower postage rates on franked mail than on stamped mail, and a franking machine also prices every item accurately, gives you instant access to the full range of postal services, and lets you advertise your business on every envelope.

When Royal Mail increased its UK postage rates from 31st March 2014, this was not the best news for businesses sending mail by stamp – but franking machine users continued to save on every item franked. There are still many reasons to frank your mail instead of stamping it.
