Mailmark franking has changed the look of franked mail since its introduction during 2014. The impression produced (see diagram below) now includes a barcode, with the traditional ‘town and crown’ being replaced. This barcode is the icon that Mailmark is recognised as and it brings many benefits to any Mailmark franking machine user.
Mailmark Technology
Mailmark is increasingly becoming more cost effective, with a Mailmark franking machine providing even greater savings on postage in comparison to a non-Mailmark franking machine. However, we are surprised to learn, that many UK businesses continue to use older and not as beneficial franking machine models. This means some businesses, possibly even yours, are paying more for postage.
The Mailmark franking technology is now available in almost all franking machine models available on the market. You may be asking yourself “Should I Become Mailmark Compliant?” and the answer, we believe, should be Yes! A Mailmark compliant franking machine can prove beneficial to any business of any size and there are many benefits to using Mailmark technology
Mailmark is quick and easy to setup, the postage available is much cheaper and the new 2D printed barcodes can be scanned faster and easier, resulting in faster delivery of mail items. As well as this your mail items will start looking more professional with a Mailmark impression. These are just some of the benefits that will become available to you if you make the switch to a Mailmark franking machine.
