About the FP Mailing Postbase Econ Franking Machine
The FP Mailing Postbase Econ comes with Mailmark and Smart Meter capabilities. This means it has the latest franking technologies to help businesses benefit further from franking mail. Lower postage costs, franking a 2D barcode and accessing VAT services are just some of the added benefits of these technologies.
As a low-volume franking machine, the Postbase Econ comes with a pass-through feeding system and an integrated weighing scale as standard. Mail is processed at up to 30 letters per minute. While this is a slower speed, it ensures mail is always franked cleanly and accurately, reducing the risk of mis-franking a mail piece and helping ensure accurate franking payments.
There are a range of other useful features available with the Postbase Econ. These include various departmental accounts, PIN code security, franking a company logo and connecting to the data centre via LAN or Wi-Fi.
