Why Choosing the Right Pitney Bowes Franking Machine Labels Matters?

At Mailcoms, we’ve spent over a decade supplying high-quality compatible and original franking labels for Pitney Bowes franking machines. We manufacture all of our labels here in the UK and ensure they meet Royal Mail standards. Using incorrect or poor-quality labels can cause:

  • Smudged or faded impressions.
  • Mailmark barcodes failing to scan.
  • Label jams.
  • Adhesive failure in transit.
  • Rejected mail from Royal Mail.

In 2026, with Mailmark barcoding standard across all machines, label quality is more important than ever. A properly manufactured label ensures crisp blue impressions every time, accurate barcode scanning, secure adhesion and smooth feeding through your machine.

❓ Original vs Compatible Pitney Bowes Franking Machine Labels - What’s the Difference?

This is one of the most common questions we get. So lets break it down.

Original (OEM) Labels:

  • Made by the equipment manufacturer – in this case Pitney Bowes.
  • Higher cost.
  • Trusted by brand-loyal customers.
  • Suitable for leased machine agreements.

Compatible Labels (Designed To Meet Royal Mail Requirements):

  • Made in the UK to meet Royal Mail requirements.
  • Lower cost meaning significant cost savings.
  • Designed for Mailmark barcode accuracy.
  • Does not void warranty.
  • Guaranteed equal or better quality – in fact, many of our customers say our compatible labels are better than what they buy from Pitney Bowes.

Thousands of UK businesses now use compatible labels to reduce running costs without sacrificing quality.

📦 How to Store Franking Machine Labels Properly

A common problem we have found is that some customers will buy multiple packs of franking labels to use over a long period of time, and when they come to open the last pack, the labels are curling and the adhesive has broken down. This often occurs when the labels are not stored in the correct conditions To extend franking label life:

  • Store in a cool, dry environment.
  • Avoid direct sunlight.
  • Keep sealed in original packaging.
  • Avoid humidity exposure.
