Royal Mail Approved Franking Ink
All of our franking ink used in our recycling service is Royal Mail Approved. Royal Mail have performed extensive tests on our ink including many thousands of impressions from most of the Franking Machines available in the market today in addition to models dating back up to 10 years. All impressions were tested to meet readability and compatibility criteria for recognition by the Royal Mails high speed IMP / ILSM sorting machines. Before testing, all Approved cartridges gained CE approval and accreditation as part of the very stringent Royal Mail approval process. Mailcoms are one of only two independent companies to gain this coveted approval in the world!!

Large franking machine manufacturers are happy for you to keep purchasing new and original ink cartridges at a high price. Not only is this expensive but also not very environmentally friendly. This is the first website of its kind solely dedicated to recycling your franking machine cartridges!
As our ink is approved by the Royal Mail, we ensure that every refilled / recycled franking machine ink cartridge is tested thoroughly in the franking machine that the cartridge is intended for.
After years of leading the way in franking cartridge recycling / refilling we have recently invested heavily in to new purpose built, bespoke high production franking machine ink cartridge refilling machines.
The refilling & recycling process
Here at Franking Cartridge Recycling, we refill and recycle your franking ink cartridges. To do this however, there is a specific process we use.

Each service page shows the manufacturer’s price for comparison.
