What is the Frama Officemail franking machine?

The Frama Officemail is a low-volume franking machine that produces clean, clear impressions and franks up to 3,000 letters per hour. It is a Smart Meter machine, so everyday UK postal rates – and selected international rates – are stored on board for quick access, and it can frank VAT services. It franks using thermal ribbons rather than liquid ink, which keeps running costs down, though it is not Mailmark compatible.

Frama Officemail at a glance

The Officemail is built for businesses with lower mail volumes that still want the speed and accuracy of an automatic machine. It franks up to 3,000 letters per hour and automatically selects the correct postage when you use its integrated weighing scale, so you pay the right rate every time.

Smart Meter postage and VAT franking

As a Smart Meter franking machine, the Officemail stores everyday postal rates on the machine – including some international rates – for quick selection. You can also frank VAT services directly from the machine.

Thermal ribbon – lower running costs

Rather than liquid franking ink, the Officemail franks using thermal ribbons. This is a cheaper alternative that keeps the machine’s running costs down while still producing a crisp, clear impression. For current Frama supplies and prices, see our Frama franking ink and labels.

Is the Frama Officemail Mailmark compatible?

No. The Frama Officemail is not Mailmark compatible, so it cannot access Royal Mail’s lowest Mailmark franking rates. If you want the cheaper Mailmark service, get a low-cost Mailmark franking machine quote for a similar machine, or browse our full range of franking machines.
