Tips for Buyers

Depending on the kind of mail you will be shipping, you will need different supplies and different materials. Some of the more basic supplies that would be required by a postage meter are envelope sealers and printer ink, and both of these can be bought from a postage meter vendor, or even an office supply store. An online vendor can also sell these supplies and usually for less than a regular postage meter vendor.

If you will be sending packages using your meter, then you will probably require printable shipping labels. A majority of postage meters have postal or digital scales already installed that weigh and calculate the price of your parcels. A label is then printed onto the package rather than simply being stamped. Labels are also relatively inexpensive. One option that a few businesses do is to have mailing supplies such as ink, envelopes, and other materials shipped to them on a regular and pre-determined basis. Sometimes this is the best option financially if you are getting the best deal on supplies this way; however it is always important to get different quotes before committing to any one supplier.

Advanced Supply Options

If you are planning on having a complete mailing system as a part of your office, then you will need more to go with the ink and envelopes. Such supplies are letter folding machines, “tabbing” devices and other unique supplies. It is important to always inquire about what maintenance or contracts will be required.
