As part of Royal Mail’s modernisation programme, from midnight on 31st October 2022, coloured adhesive labels will no longer be used by franking machine users for Special Delivery Guaranteed® and Royal Mail Signed For® products.
Where franking machine users currently select Special Delivery Guaranteed® & Royal Mail Signed For® services on their franking machine but then need to attach a separate sticker to obtain these additional services, from 1st November, Royal Mail are introducing new, wider franking machine indicia that will include not only the Mailmark® barcode but also an S10 1D barcode, additional product name information and new alpha-numeric content within the visual service indicator boxes.
Here are the current and future indicia:
This means that franking machine users will be able to frank their mail with their Mailmark® barcode and the S101 1D barcode for the Special Delivery Guaranteed® or Royal Mail Signed For® services directly from their franking machines onto an envelope or franking label with no need to affix a separate service sticker.
Further details about this change will be published nearer the time. In the meantime, please contact us if you have any questions.
