What Is A Franking Machine?

A franking machine is a useful tool for any company that is planning on sending out high volumes of mail.  The machine essentially prints a stamp of the mail piece, not only saving your company time, but also money. The cost saving a franking machine can deliver over the Royal Mail is roughly 20%.
