We have a franking machine, but we elected to use stamps last time as (I think it must be a basic model) the mcahine doesn't take envelopes with more than a few sheets - if you send out a newsletter you have to print the franking on to a sticky label, then attach the label to the envelope. (In fact it takes 2 sticky labels, as one has the code and logo on it ,the other the value of the franking). Quicker to use a stamp! There are some discounts for using a franking machine, but these apply to heavier items sent by first class post - our newsletters go out 2nd class for obvious money-saving reasons.

You could frank the the empty envelopes, and stuff them afterwards.
