Benefit from up to 49% discount on your mail when you use a franking machine.
Royal Mail have announced their new price tariff for franking machines and stamps effective April 2nd 2024. While stamp prices for both 1st and 2nd Class standard letters have gone up by 10p (to £1.35 and £0.85 respectively), the cost of standard franked letters has remained UNCHANGED.
Large letters have similarly increased in price for stamp users (with the exception of 100g 2nd Class), while all large letter formats for franked mail have remained UNCHANGED.
Business Mail Advanced, Royal Mail's volume -related discount structure for franking machines, has also remained UNCHANGED.
Small and medium parcel prices have increased for both stamps and franking machines.
