Franking Machines  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

In order to send letters and packages the distribution provider for example Deutschen Post levies a transportation charge. While private customers pay this postal fee in the form of stamps, companines often fall back on franking machines. These devices are loaded by the user with the required amount of money and print accordingly the postal charges directly onto the envelope of the letter.

Franking machines offer faster processing of postal traffic and are used in smaller offices as well as in large post departments of companies and small businesses. They guarantee easy handling through confirgured tariffs and letter formats and are therefore used for standard letter forms as well as C6 envelopes. Packets can also be pre-paid by printing the postage first on a sticker. An interesting advantage is that the company logo or also advertising logo can be saved on a franking machine so that the letter has an unchangeable appearance.

The main aspect of a franking machine is that a large number of letters can be pre-paid in a short period of time. An advertising agent, who regularly sends prospectuses and catalogues to customers uses a franking machine exactly the same as a typing office, which sends daily business letters.
