When selecting 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.
It's hard to imagine mailing without these practical helpers, as they save time and money. Daily mail processing with the right franking machine takes just a few minutes and your items are franked optimally and securely.
Letter volume
One of the main criteria for the right model is the average number of letters and parcels that leave your company every day. Any advertising campaigns (how many times a year?) and the days on which you issue and send invoices should also be taken into account. The model and the corresponding performance class determine the number of letters that can be processed per minute.
If you regularly receive a lot of outgoing mail, you can choose anything from a desktop device to a franking system with special furniture. With a manageable amount 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 purchasing. Letters and small parcels, including international items, can be processed as standard. Exceptions to this rule are direct mail and cash on delivery items. Some models print self-adhesive franking strips for large-format items.
The franking impression
For registered letters or registered letters with advice of delivery, some machines print the valid barcode on the franked letter. Forget postage tables and reference books - with a touch user interface and practical management software, you can select the desired item type at the touch of a finger.
Company logo and advertising text
Clean and legible postage stamps can include the company logo or an advertising text and thus convey a good image on the envelope. If you want to use this option, make sure that you can choose from several advertising stamps and that they are easy to change.
Expansion option
Make sure that the franking machine is easy to operate and can be expanded at any time. Equally important is the service provided by the manufacturer in the event of a machine breakdown. Short-term customer service and on-site repairs should be possible so that the company does not suffer any damage.
Security when charging postage
Digital franking machines should be equipped with a security module that shows the virtual postage credit. To top up new credit, a connection to the data center is established at the touch 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 protected against unauthorized access.
