making your franking machine count

2008-05-02T15:48:00.004+01:00

Hopefully by now you've got your franking machine from themailingroom.com and taken the shiny beast out of its box.
Now how do you get the most from your machine?
Firstly are you fully aware of all the discounts available from the Royal Mail? You get at least 2 pence on every item of post sent - also cleanmail is available on the ultimail, centormail and opti 30 - this can offer you a further saving of a whopping extra 11 % on all your mailshots!

Still want more? add weighing scales and make absolutely sure you are not overpricing your items or indeed underpricing and having to pay Royal Mail excess charges.

All these savings and we haven't even mentioned the hidden benefits. How much more of a professional image is it to put a frank on your post rather than a collection of stamps.Free advertising on the outside of the envelope and a free return address.

Finally and maybe the best of the lot- office morale!!!! how much more will your staff love you for not having to trudge down the post office in the pouring rain and not having to spend their afternnoons licking and sticking ( lets face it that glue is made from boiled down animals!!)

Franking machines and environmentally friendly inks

2008-05-02T15:05:00.007+01:00

Franking Machine and environmentally friendly inks was a phrase that up until a few years ago would have got you a blank look and likely as not a trip to the funny farm.
However at themailingroom.com we are becoming increasingly aware of our responsibilities to the community and indeed to the world at large.
Our latest range of machines all use inkjet technology ( mymail, ultimail and centormail) this enables you to control the amount of ink squirted onto each envelope and also being as they are reusable cartridges means that when eventually the ink does run out they can be refilled using natural resources.
We offer a recycling facility for all used cartridges and this facility is also available for 'dead' franking machines.

franking machines and the environment

2008-05-02T14:54:00.003+01:00

At themailingroom.com we take green issues and the environment very seriously indeed. We are currently working toward our iso 9000 accreditation.
All of our franking machines and range of folders inserters are particularly eco friendly with remarkably low levels of emissions.
In addition all used machines are recycled either to be cannibalised for spare parts for existing machines or sent to a recycling plant just outside of Berlin.
Likewise all of our used consumables can be recycled and are marked with the address of the recycling depot on all consumables.
As green issues become more and more important to the planet we are moving our machines into a more 'world friendly' environment. On the mymail ,Ultimail and centormail all consumables are now manufactured by Hewlett Packard meaning that as well as offering increased lifespans these cartridges can now be refilled.

How to pick a franking machine

2008-05-02T14:33:00.005+01:00

Essentially all Franking machines do the same job- ie alleviate the need to trudge down to the post office to buy stamps.
However once you have decided that you want to purchase a machine from http://themailingroom.com you then need to decide which is best suited for your requirements.
If you're a sole trader or small office sending a few letters a day then chances are that the mymail http://www.themailingroom.com/mymail.php would be right up your street.
However as you send more mail so there is a need to move up the range.

The optimail and the opti 30 http://www.themailingroom.com/optimail.php make ideal companions for the small office with enough toughness to cope with the occasional mailshot.
As you advance up the range then the ultimail offers a modular design which can be tailored to fit most medium sized office requirements- a cracker of a machine and without doubt my own personal favourite. This is what we use in our office and it is so much part of the family that we call him Dave.

At the top of the tree is the centormail http://www.themailingroom.com/centormail.php - our flagship machine and one of the greats. The centormail can do just about everything except make the tea. Available with the options of either an automatic feeder or dynamic automatic mail processor this is the franking machine that dreams are made of.
All in all we offfer a complete range of franking machines and if you are at all uncertain which machine is right for you then contact us at the mailingroom.com or call us on 01322 288890 and we will happily offer advice on which is best for you.
