Royal Mail Mailmark Technology

During 2014 the Royal Mail released their brand new franking initiative Mailmark. This Mailmark™ technology has had over 70 million pounds put into it and in 2014 it was seen as the future of franking. Now in 2020, many businesses across the UK have migrated to the new Mailmark service, reaping the many benefits that come with it. Mailmark enables the use of new features and allows a more professional image to be franked and portrayed to the customer. The Royal Mail believed it would be a huge success among franking machine users and this has proven to be the case. Mailmark offers users a new 2D barcode when franking and much lower franking rates which can only be accessed with a Mailmark compliant franking machine.

What Is Mailmark™?

Mailmark is the latest and most recent piece of franking technology that is now accessible in almost all modern franking machines. With Mailmark, instead of franking the traditional circular ‘town and crown’ die, users will instead frank a 2D barcode. This enables franking customers and the Royal Mail to improve the way mail is processed. See an example barcode below to see what means what:
