Do franking machines still have a role in the digital age?

Yes. Even as business communication moves online, franking machines remain one of the cheapest and most professional ways for UK businesses to send physical mail. Modern digital and Mailmark machines cut postage costs, save time and let you reclaim VAT, which email simply cannot do for letters, invoices and parcels.

Franking machines are still vital for SMEs

For a long time franking machines have automatically franked business mail, and many UK businesses still use this method every day. Franking is usually cheaper than stamping, and the savings add up quickly. On top of that, a franking machine gives your outgoing mail a clean, professional image. If your current machine uses obsolete technology, though, you may be missing out on further savings and benefits.

Save money with a digital franking machine

A franking machine saves you money almost every time you use it, because it needs less manual effort and is a cheaper way to send mail. Upgrade to a digital franking machine and you can take advantage of the latest technologies. Mailmark offers further postage discounts over standard franking, while Smart Meter gives you reporting features to reclaim VAT on postal services where tax applies. Modern machines also help ensure you never over- or under-pay postage again.
