How a Franking Machine Works

Printer Friendly »

Benefits and Usability at a Glance

Despite the ongoing digitalisation, paperless offices are still not a full-fledged reality. Even in the digital age, physical letters are sent daily. Instead of laboriously and time-consumingly stamping your outgoing mail manually, you can speed this process up with a franking machine.

Professional Image: The Devil’s in the Detail

Franking machines optimise mail processing and contribute to a professional corporate image. They significantly shorten and simplify the workflow of manually franking your outgoing mail. Even better, the trip to the post office and the long wait at the counter are eliminated. Even the tedious and error-prone task of manually sticking on stamps is a thing of the past.

Efficiency and Accuracy

With professional franking machines, you benefit twice: you speed up work processes and reduce the error rate in franking. Returns due to incorrect postage are minimised. Additional services can be printed directly on the letter. The franking machine automatically generates a sequential code number, which can be printed directly on the PC via a USB cable and added to the dispatch list. The cumbersome filling out of the dispatch receipt at the counter is no longer necessary. Functions such as online postage loading, cost centers, and additional advertising texts expand the performance spectrum of a franking machine, making it an indispensable helper in mail processing.

Easy Operation

Modern franking machines offer user-friendly interfaces. Speed dial or memory keys provide quick access to frequently used shipping methods, allowing even inexperienced users to operate the machine effortlessly.

Save Money with Correct Postage Values

To determine the correct postage value, simply select the desired shipping method. In combination with an integrated or external scale, the franking machine automatically calculates the correct postage value. Over- and under-franking are minimised. Returns and refusals of acceptance are a thing of the past.

Individual Advertising Messages and Company Logos

By directly printing the franking on your mail, your outgoing pieces receive a professional touch. No more crookedly attached stamps. Printing your company logo during franking ensures compliance with your corporate design. Additionally, information such as special promotions or event dates can be printed directly on the mail. Use the free advertising space on your letters as a business card for your company and stand out from the crowd.

Environmentally Friendly Mailing

In times of environmental protection, you can leave your mark by printing the GoGreen label. This shows that you send your mail climate-neutrally and support national and international climate protection projects. It also leaves a positive impression on the recipient.
