The new franking rates 2016 including brand new Mailmark prices have been announced by the Royal Mail for the coming year and will be effective from 29th March 2016.

From what we can see it appears that the price of sending a first class letter has increased 1p for Standard Franking to 64p and 53p respectively. A first class letter sent via Mailmark has stayed the same at 51p.

This means that the difference between Mailmark and Non Mailmark has now increased from 1p to 2p for the first time ever and the discount percentage between stamps and Mailmark has increased further.

Royal Mail carefully consider the impact on their customers before deciding to increase the cost of sending mail. Royal Mail believe these changes are necessary to help ensure the sustainability of the Universal Postal Service.

As well as this Large Letters up to 100gm are all up by 1p for both Mailmark and Non Mailmark.
