Franking mail is the
SMARTER choice
Frama is the fastest growing Royal
Mail approved franking machine
manufacturer and service provider in
the UK. A subsidiary of parent company
Frama AG, the company draws upon 40
years of industry experience. Customers
have access to an extensive range of
Swiss manufactured products, produced
to exacting quality standards.We also
have a UK-based team of highly trained
customer service professionals who
are committed to delivering the Frama
CareS customer service promise.
We also guarantee that we will protect
sensitive customer data. Frama is certified
for IT security as per ISO 27001 and
FIPS 140-2 Level 3, the highest security
requirement for Cryptographic Modules.
One example of how we handle
sensitive data is the FramaOnline2
system, which guarantees the secure
and efficient updating of every aspect
associated with a clients’ Frama franking
system. FramaOnline2 securely manages
the data flow between Royal Mail, a
client’s bank and their franking system,
as well as creating the data streams
necessary to facilitate accurate VAT
calculations, ensuring compliance with
HMRC.
Ease of use
Ease of use is tightly embedded within
our product design; all Frama Matrix
franking machines feature the patented
ComTouch™ touchscreen display.With
up to 36 ‘one touch’ keys for quick and
easy access to everyday franking tasks,
the operator interface displays only the
information needed as well as available
postage funds and ink levels in real-time.
Touch and frank: it is as simple as that!
The Frama range is also Mailmark™
ready. Mailmark is the latest generation
of franking indicia from Royal Mail and
incorporates a 2D barcode which is
applied to mail pieces. In time, all franked
mail will carry this 2D barcode, although
existing franking formats are still valid.
“Frama UK promises to deliver great value, first class customer
service and an all-inclusive transparent pricing structure”
says Marketing Manager LennyWood
How much can I save?
Since 2009 prices have increased by 59%
for 1st Class and a staggering 77% for
2nd Class mail.
By switching from stamps to franking
you can save up to 20% on a 1st Class
service, 18% on 2nd Class parcel and a
massive 30% on 2nd Class letters versus
stamps.Who wouldn’t want to be saving
over a third on their postage costs?
Using a Mailmark franking machine
increases this saving by an additional
1 penny on a 1st Class and by 2 pence
when compared to 2nd class stamps.
With Mailmark, businesses also benefit
from a more professional image to mail
items, guaranteed accurate postage
calculation, and simple tariff updates via
LAN download, thus avoiding incorrect
pricing.
SMART franking plan
With controlling costs and budget
constraints front of mind for companies
of all sizes and across all industries, we
recognise the frustrations associated with
having to deal with multiple invoices
and additional charges.When it comes
to other office products and technology
such as print and telephony for example,
it’s become the norm to adopt an all-
inclusive pricing structure that includes
the capital cost of the equipment,
associated consumables and maintenance
and that’s why we have launched our
SMART franking plan.
Customers sign up to one fixed
quarterly payment that includes
the franking system, comprehensive
maintenance, ink and delivery. In addition,
there are no hidden charges and no fee
for loading credit onto the machine
which is usually the case with other
manufacturers. The SMART franking plan
is transparent and enables customers to
accurately budget ahead.
Frama is a trusted provider for all
mailroom services including products,
data and solutions.
Our range includes electronic letter
openers, folding machines, inserters,
shredders and more.
