If you are a small or medium sized business that sends a lot of mail then a franking machine could be ideal for you. Small business often don’t realise they can own their own franking machine and thereby cut out the daily post office trip. Franking machines offer good value for money on postage and reduce man hours when it comes to getting the post ready and taking it to the post office, with the recent cuts in post offices, queuing times have increased dramatically meaning a staff member could potentially spend around half an hour or more per day just waiting for someone to price up and take your post from you. Best of all you don’t have to purchase your franking machine outright, instead you can lease it, meaning no big initial outlay.

The fact that online top-ups are available for franking machines means you can monitor your postage costs effeciently and effectively. Franking machines allow you to print the precise amount of postage you need for each item meaning no more wasted stamps, and peace of mind that your mail will get to its destination without the recipient having to pay excess postage charges. Franking machines are very neat, and are generally no bigger than a computer. Because franking machines are self contained they need very little space in the office, the only additional thing that you may need is a box of labels to frank for large items or parcels that wont fit thorugh the machine itself. Most small businesses will have room somewhere to accommodate a franking machine.

When you have finished franking your mail all you have to do is take it to the post box and post it, simple as that, no queuing or trips to the post office involved. You may find the area you are in has a specially designated franked mail box, if not it will just go in with the regular mail. All in all franking machines are a great investment for small to medium sized businesses who don’t have the time or resources to spend making the journey to and queuing in the post office day in day out.

To sum up it can be said that companies that utilize franking machines are saving the valuable resource of man hours, something that should be emphasized in the current economic climate.
