Mailmark™
What is Mailmark franking?
Mailmark is a new generation of franking mark that replaces the traditional ‘town and crown’ die with a 2D barcode that carries machine-readable information on the user and mailpiece. The barcode enables franking customers and the Royal Mail to improve the way mail is processed, providing additional benefits for everyone. Mailmark offers the potential to track mail location and delivery, and improve reporting and management of tariffs.
How can Mailmark franking benefit my business?
Price Reduction
Royal Mail say that MailMark will always have the lowest tariffs across all the franking channels.
LAN Connectivity
The use of a LAN connection allows for faster connections to be made through your franking machine, saving you both time and money spent on line rental.
Pre Pay Reply
Important documents that you want returning? Mailmark enables you to do a date-less pre-paid frank allowing your customers to return documents at no cost to them which in turn is likely to increase your response rate.
Automatic Postage Updates
Your machine will automatically update prices whenever changes occur.
Online Mail Reports
The data transferred from the information provided within the barcode allows Mailmark customers to keep a track of the way in which they do their post and their postage expenditure through their online ‘InView’ account.
Professional Image
The barcode allows for a clean-cut finish to your frank in comparison to the circular ‘town and crown’ die.
The Future
Royal Mail has stated that more products and services are being developed for the future which will incorporate the use of MailMark.
