Royal Mail do not directly supply franking machines. Look at the list of their authorised manufacturers and independent inspector/maintainers on their website. Royal Mail does not recommend one party over any other; each one will be able to advise you on the services they provide.
The types of franking machines vary from the more simple, low-usage machines to larger, automated machines which will recognise the size, weight and thickness of your mail. Discuss what is best for your company by talking to one of the authorised manufacturer/independent inspector/maintainers.
