UPGRADE TO MAILMARK FRANKING

Royal Mail announcement about MailMark franking machines - what you need to know

In order to improve their operational efficiencies, Royal Mail is replacing the traditional crown die indicia with the machine-readable 2-D bar code system ‘MailMark’. This means that they will be removing the option to use these older machines for your franking, and Royal Mail will only accept franked mail from customers who use a Mailmark Franking machine.

How can I tell if I have an out-of-date Franking machine?

It’s easy to find out, all you need to do it take a look at your franked mail. If you have the crown die indicia, you need to get in touch to upgrade.

I have an older style franking machine, what do I need to do?

Because these older machines are being phased out by Royal Mail, these need to be replaced with a new MailMark enabled franking machine.

The good news is that the newer MailMark machines offer additional benefits for your post, further reducing postage costs over traditional franked mail.

My franking machine is already MailMark

If you already have a MailMark franking machine, congratulations! You don’t need to do anything, you’re up to date, and already taking full advantage of the savings MailMark offers.

If you do need to upgrade, just get in touch with us and we can advise on the best machine to replace your old one, and make sure you have a smooth transition before Royal Mail remove the old system.
