This guide from www.neopost.co.uk shows how to prepare Franked mail and cash-in on savings up to 38% with your postal communications. Additionally franked mail also offers productivity and security benefits as well.
It is a good idea to include a return address on your envelopes in case mail is undeliverable. Neopost will help you ensure that your slogan block complies with the latest Royal Mail specifications.
FRANK ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE
You can frank envelopes and packets of different sizes, shapes and colours, by using franking labels so they will still have a clear and legible mark.
Mail items can be franked in advance; simply forward the date on the franking machine and set it to the next day.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO?
Frank marks must be printed in red unless you are using Business Mail Advanced products - then it’s blue. They should always be clear and in the top right-hand corner of your item.
WHY BOTHER?
