Cheap Bulk Postage Franking Machines

We take a look below into the opportunity to get discounts and savings beyond that of standard franking, when sending bulk volumes.

Bulk Postage Franking

Bulk mailing postal tariffs are set by Royal Mail and provide a great opportunity for businesses to benefit from even larger postal savings.

Royal Mails business mail advanced service is open for anyone sending just 500 letters in a single mailing either 1st or 2nd class.

Sending a mailing of 500 letters 2nd class would normally cost £195 vs just £150.50 when processing under business mail advanced. This provides another saving of £44.50.

Business Mail Advanced is very simple really, the more letters you send the larger the savings generated when using a franking machine.

Save by Comparing Franking Options from Leading Manufacturers

High Volume Bulk Postage Savings

High volume franking machines are capable of processing 310 items a minute, allowing you to process bulk volumes quickly and with ease.

High volume franking machines carry higher initial cost but this is compensated by the fact that more mail can be processed and sent in the same day to help achieve the highest savings available.

Some businesses process mail via the advanced date feature on the franking machine, they do this to build up the volume over a few days to maximise the discounts available.

A good example of the potential savings is if you were to process 1000 letters with stamps the cost would be £580 vs just £296 on a franking machine under Business Mail Advanced. That’s a massive 49% saving or £254!

You don’t need a massive franking machine to achieve these savings, so if you do large mailings infrequently a small-medium sized machine with business mail advanced may be a great option.

Leasing franking machines tends to be the preferred option for businesses, not only does it ensure refreshed technology every few years but it can have tax benefits also.
