Pitney Bowes In-house digital franking machines used to only be available to large businesses, who have for a long time enjoyed the efficiency and speed of in-house franking machines. However, now the Pitney Bowes Postage Machine is aiming to bring the inherent savings in cost and time to smaller businesses. Pitney Bowes offer postage machines in two formats, both about the size of an mini fax machine.
Both systems print out the postage labels that are affixed to your letters and packages. These labels can be customised with a "personalised logo plate" that allows you to promote your brand or company with every letter you send, thus enhancing your professional image. Both systems can also be customised for the UK postal service, and also for some EU postal services, including Germany. It is estimated that using a digital franking machine such as this will make cost savings of around 20%. Setting up the System The system is easy to set up.
Currently, you can get a 30 day free trial of this system, together with £20 worth of free postage.
