Restricitons and Conditions
The following restrictions and conditions is taken from The Royal Mails page on Franking machines.
You must be issued with a licence from Royal Mail before you start using your franking
machine.
The Royal Mail can withdraw permission to use a franking machine for any contravention of the terms
and conditions of use or if for any other reason we believe that the machine has been misused. It is a
requirement of the licence that you keep your franking machine in good working order and have it inspected at
least once per year by a company approved to carry out this work. Approved manufacturers and suppliers are
listed on our website.
You must tell Royal Mail and your machine manufacturer or supplier if any of your company details
change The franked impressions produced by your machine must be clear and legible, must include the date of
posting and the correct postage rate for the item’s size, weight and destination. You must present your mail
in accordance with the terms and conditions of your franking machine licence, segregating it by class and
service, in bundles facing and oriented the same way.
You may only use red ink when using a franking machine and this must be purchased from the supplier
of the machine.
Do I rent or do I buy a Franking
Machine?
As companies grow, the mail increases and eventually the mail reaches a
point when it might make sense to have a Franking Machine.
If you buy a Franking Machine make sure it is not second hand. Always
buy new.
But it will soon be out of date with modern technology moving so fast
these days.
Renting a Franking Machine is a better choice then purchasing them.
Any problems then you can contact the company that you have rented from and they can sort out the problem
quickly.
If you feel you need a Franking machine then
please ask the company about the extra
costs.
Most Franking companys do not supply a size guide.
Either buy ours or
