If you’re thinking about switching to a franking machine, you may be looking at how much you could save. Franking machines can not only save time and improve efficiency, but they also provide a saving for each item that you send. So even if you’re only sending small volumes of mail, a franking machine can still save money for your business. As a franking machine owner, you’ll automatically receive Royal Mail’s franking discounts, meaning you can save up to 30% on your postage costs.
This is due to stamps using the standard Royal Mail pricing with no discount provided. Using a franking machine however, will come with a great discount on postage. Plus, Mailmark (a new generation of franking mark) franking machines can save even more, as they will automatically update to ensure you’re saving as much as possible.
As an example, sending a second class letter using a traditional stamp will cost 68p, whereas sending it via franked mail will only cost 60p, or 51p for Mailmark franking. Sending a first class small parcel with a stamp will cost £4.45, compared to £3.95 by franked mail and Mailmark.
Using a franking machine also means you’re able to send large volumes of mail easily from your own offices. It streamlines the whole mailing process, while ensuring that you’re not overpaying or underpaying for items, as it uses a built-in weighing scale
