The majority of businesses would consider a franking machine to be a benefit and actually have no disadvantages but there are a couple of things to consider.

  • Potential disadvantages of a franking machine
The first thing that you need to consider is whether your business has sufficient items that need to be mailed in order to validate the expense of a franking machine. If the answer is no, then the obvious disadvantage is that you will pay for something that will not earn its keep.

The second thing to consider, if you have decided that your business does need one, is whether to rent or buy. If you rent you will be able to keep up with any technological advances and you will have any potential repairs taken care of, but you will be paying week after week for something that you will never own. However, you will not have to find the capital to buy the franking machine.

  • Advantages of a franking machine
The most obvious advantage is that the price of mailing items is significantly cheaper, and you never have to worry about running out of stamps!

They also give your business a more professional look because you are able to incorporate logos or special messages in them so your mail is individual and pertinent to your business.

Franking machines can be used on all types of mail, and can also be used on mail and parcels that are going overseas.

Having a franking machine also means that your mail room can be streamlined and become more efficient.
