What are the key mailroom product areas covered?

What are the benefits of franking?

Cost Saving - franked mail gives a discount over stamps of between 6% and 7% depending on weight.
Time Savings - far quicker to frank than to maintain a stamp book and visit the Post Office to top it up.
Image - a franked letter with your own return address and slogan gives a professional touch to your mail and enables the return of “gone aways” to keep your database up to date.
Correct Value - by setting the correct value each time it avoids using incorrect stamp values if they are not easily available, so more cost savings.
Credit Always Available - using the telephone re-credit system, when the franker runs out a telephone call at any time 24/7 “tops up” the credit value to let you carry on posting - no running out of stamps.
“Pricing in Proportion” - all products are fully compatable with PIP services and rates.
Printing Method - via compact replaceable ink cartridge.
