FP Mailing Smart Franking Machines

FP Mailing smart franking machines use the Royal Mail Smart Meter technology, which lets businesses access VAT-rated services, capture VAT data for reclaim, and frank in smart blue ink for clearer, more readable impressions. The range spans low, mid and high-volume models, from the Mymail through the Postbase Qi series to the Centormail.

Smart Meter technology and FP Mailing

Smart Meter technology was introduced in January 2011 by Royal Mail. Since then, many UK businesses have moved to a smart franking machine so they can access and use all VAT services. FP Mailing helped with the introduction of the smart meter and offers a range of FP Mailing smart franking machines.

FP Mailing has its headquarters in Berlin, Germany, with factories and subsidiaries worldwide, including operations in the UK, Canada and Singapore. As well as franking machines, FP Mailing supplies other products that can improve the mail room.
