Franking machines, sometimes known as postage meters, are feed-in devices that print a mark or a ‘frank’ directly onto mail. This can be a letter, a postcard, a parcel or anything else you can send in the post.
The frank is printed directly on the mail instead of a traditional stamp. This allows you to access Royal Mail’s franking rates, which are cheaper than standard postage.
