Cleanmail® Advance
Available through your
franking machine.
If you produce at least 1,000 letters for delivery
within the UK and you can prepare your mail so Royal
Mail’s automated technology can read and verify the
address and postcode, you can obtain a discount from the
franking tariff price.
What discounts are available?
By effectively preparing your
mail you’ve helped Royal Mail to sort automatically and
so they offer
savings of up to 17.5% off standard mail costs.
Discounts are refunded either by cheque or as a credit
to a Royal Mail Account. A refund application is not
required.
What criteria must be met to
receive the discounts?
To benefit from up to the
17.5% Cleanmail Advance
discount
you must meet the following criteria:
• Letter dimensions including address location and clear
zones
• Apply a license number (normally applied when your
machine franks a letter)

Royal Mail sorting machines read the License number,
