When choosing a franking machine for your business, you should first determine which model is the right franking machine and ensures simple and convenient franking of your mail items.
The practical helpers in letter sending are indispensable, because they save money and time. With the right franking machine, daily mail processing only takes a few minutes and your items are franked optimally and securely.
Mail volume
One of the main criteria for the right model is the average number of letters and parcels that leave your company each day. Possible advertising campaigns (how often per year?) and the days on which you issue and send invoices must also be taken into account. The model and the associated performance class determine the amount of mail that can be processed per minute.
For regular high outgoing mail volumes, you can choose from a desktop device to a franking system with special matching furniture. With a manageable volume of outgoing mail, an entry-level model that fits on any desk is sufficient.
Equipment and accessories
If the franking machine is to be equipped with a letter scale, an automatic letter feeder, or automatic postage calculation via a dynamic scale, this must be taken into account before purchase. Letters and parcels, including international items, can be processed as standard. Exceptions are unaddressed mail and cash-on-delivery items. Some models print self-adhesive franking strips for large-format mailings.
The franking imprint
For registered letters or registered letters with return receipt, some machines print the valid barcode on the franked letter as well. Forget postage tables and reference books - with a touch control panel and practical administration software, you can select the desired type of item at the touch of a finger.
Company logo and advertising text
Clean and clearly legible postage stamps can contain the company logo or an advertising text and thus convey a good appearance already on the envelope. If you want to use this option, make sure that you can choose from several advertising stamps and that they can be easily changed.
Expansion options
Make sure that the franking machine is easy to operate and can be expanded at any later time. Equally important are the manufacturer's service offerings in the event of machine failure. Short-notice customer service and on-site repairs should be possible so that no damage arises for the company.
Security when loading postage
Digital franking machines should be equipped with a security module that displays the virtual postage credit. To top up new credit, a connection to the data center is established at the push of a button.
Cost center management
For larger companies, it makes sense to purchase a franking machine that manages several cost centers separately in order to allocate the postage costs incurred to each department. Before purchasing, find out whether the franking machine can also be secured against unauthorized access.
