How much can you save with a franking machine?

14 May 2014

As a stamp user, you can save up to 34% on your postage simply by switching from stamping to franking.

The current cost of sending a 1st class letter using a stamp is 62p, by switching to franking you can send a 1st class letter for 49p – that’s a 13p difference.

A 2nd class letter sent using stamps will cost you 53p, whereas with franking it costs 35p, saving you 18p.

If you want to send a small parcel 1st class with a stamp it would cost you £3.20, you could save 30p by franking where sending a 1st class small parcel will cost £2.90

Sending a small parcel 2nd class using a stamp will currently cost you £2.80, whereas sending the same parcel using franking will cost you £2.50 – another 30p saving.

The savings are outlined in the table below so you can be clear just how much you can save by switching!
