Pitney Bowes have for a long time been the industry standard for franking machines and they have a special relationship with the Royal Mail and are allowed to produce these machines for offices, so they can churn out franked mail. They are one of only four companies allowed to do this in the UK and have been doing this since the early 1900’s. The DM50 is a small, compact franking machine and it is robust enough to cope with regular mailing demands on a daily basis. Pitney Bowes DM50 ink and franking labels are all you need once you have purchased this machine. It is important to make sure you have a decent supply of pb dm 50 ink cartridges because the need to get post out as quickly as possible, is always important and office staff are bound to complain if the machine is down, due to a lack of ink. These cartridges are relatively inexpensive to purchase and it is no hassle to store a few of these in the stockroom. There are a number of ways you can get a franking machine into your business. The obvious way, is to purchase it outright. As this is a base model, it does not come automatically with a warranty, so it is probably worth spending the small amount of money on this extra, at the point of purchase, as it can be difficult and expensive trying to find an engineer to come and sort any issues out at a later date. It is also possible to rent franking machines directly from Pitney Bowes or a recognised distributor and this is often a smart way for a small business to try it out before committing a heap of money to something they are not sure about. There is often a lengthy rental period agreement, around the five years mark, when doing it this way. The DM50 can cope with up to 30 mail items a day, which does demonstrate how small this machine is. It is able to frank 20 letters a minute though, so it will be a relatively quick job for someone to take on in the office. It is equipped with an integrated weighing platform, which can weigh up to 2.5 kg in weight. Pitney Bowes have cleverly allowed for up to 5 marketing slogans to be incorporated onto the franked ticket and there is also an option to PIN password protect. This is a cheap and reliable machine for new companies to consider and there is also an overall cut down on postage costs when using a franking machine. This can be up to 30% on postage costs. It is a small machine and will happily tuck into a small area in the office.
