Why use a franking machine?

Any company that sends out 8 second class letters per day or more can make substantial savings by switching from stamped mail to using a franking machine.

In fact Totalpost’s latest estimates show that even at this low level, businesses that switched from stamped to franked mail could save £395.20 a year.

The more mail your business sends out, the bigger the value of the saving that could be achieved through switching to a franking machine. For example, at the top of the scale, any company that sends out more than 350 items of mail a day could save £17,290.00 just by changing from stamped mail to a franking machine.

Franking machine users receive a discount on every item of mail sent, saving 19p on every second class letter and 16p on every first class letter. This means a first class franked letter is now cheaper to send than a second class stamped letter.

As well as making significant savings, using a franking machine also comes with other benefits. Staff time spent on dealing with mail is reduced, as all of your mailing needs can be undertaken in-house. Additionally, many of the modern franking machine systems come with additional benefits such as customisable label printing to enable the use of marketing on your mail.
