In 1884, the first franking machine was invented by Engle Frankmussler. It was called the Postage Stamp Affixing Machine. The franking machine was developed to solve the problems that the post office were having with regards to security and payment. Today, the franking machine is not only used by the post office but also by companies with their own mail-room.
Instead of using traditional stamps on your packages, you can use a franking machine to print stamps on your packages. The use of franking machines in the mail room is a quick, reliable and easy way of reducing the costs of outgoing mails.
Many companies use franking machines for their mail-room because franked mails and packages give them a way to advertise their companies for free. This is because franked stamps can be customized. You can customize them with your company logo and any other promotional text of message. You can even use franked stamps to advertise new products or services or to make promotions and offers known to your customers.
One common way that franking machines reduce the operation costs of the mail room is by providing the correct postage. With traditional stamps, many people waste money because they are not sure of the exact weight of a package which results in them over stamping the package. In other cases, some people under stamp their packages. When a package is under stamped, it causes inconvenience and money to have the package delivered to the customer. Using a franking machine will provide you with the correct postage amount every time.

Even if the post office is not open, you can top up your franking machine and have sufficient stamps for all of your packages. Franking machines can be purchased or rented; however, you should always make sure that you check the top-up charges when purchasing or renting franking machines. There are many different sizes of franking machines with different capabilities. Make sure that you choose the right franking machine to meet your needs.
