A FRANKING MACHINE, HOW DOES THAT WORK?
Franking the mail with a franking machine is a common way of working. But how does it work exactly? Is this way of working still effective?
- You rent or buy a franking machine through a certified dealer.
- Depending on the estimated volume of mail, you charge the weekly postage credit online.
- When you want to frank your mail, indicate the type of mail: domestic and foreign, parcels or registered mail.
- The franking machine determines the weight of the shipment and the correct rate so you don’t have to look it up yourself.
- You always frank with the date of the day you send.
- You deliver your stamped mail to your mail distributor or have it collected.
Consumption data overview
Thanks to a franking machine, it is easier to keep track of your consumption data. You will receive a monthly overview with the numbers and types of postage. This allows you to switch and adjust faster where necessary.
