Different franking machine suppliers

Different franking machine suppliers supply different models of machines manufactured by the franking machine companies. While some franking machines stamp the date, others stamp time and location along with it. Some franking machines also serve as business tools and stamp promotional lines and taglines on the letters, papers and envelopes that they stamp. One thing that becomes obvious from this is that legibility of the stamped feedback and data is of paramount importance. Thus, whenever you use the equipment for stamping your papers always pay attention to the available space. Inadequate space will affect legibility, while adequate space will help the machine stamp clear and readable data. 

·         Position it correctly

Before using the franking machine, you should know where to put the stamp. Therefore, always ensure that you have reserved the right hand top corner of your parcels and envelopes for stamping. It is also customary to use red ink for primary stamping.

·         Segregate similar values together

You need to refill the franking machine with some postage values before making it ready for stamping your envelopes. However, the stamping value of all the envelopes will not be the same. You need not worry in case of advanced models of franking machines that can automatically recognize the weight of the postage and stamp it accordingly. 

But if the franking machine that you have purchased is not must advanced then you will need to segregate the postal couriers and envelopes on the basis of their approximate weight. The rest part of it will be handled by the machine.
