A postage meter is a mailing system that weighs mail, calculates the correct postage, and prints postage directly onto envelopes or postage labels. Businesses use postage meters to send letters and packages faster, reduce manual work, and manage postage spend more clearly.
The best postage meter depends on how much mail you send, how often you send packages, and how much reporting you need. Small businesses often start with the iX-1. Growing offices that need faster processing and department tracking often choose the iX-3. Higher-volume mailrooms may need the iX-5, iX-7, or iX-9.
The iX-1 is a strong choice for small businesses with low-volume mailing needs. It is compact, easy to use, and designed to help teams weigh, rate, and print postage without relying on stamps or regular post office trips.
A postage meter helps reduce avoidable postage costs by weighing items accurately, selecting the right postal class, and giving your business access to available USPS postage discounts. It also helps reduce time spent on manual mailing tasks.
Yes. Quadient postage meters support letters, envelopes, and packages. Integrated weighing and guided rate selection help your team apply the right postage for the item being sent.
Quadient postage meters include integrated or connected weighing options, depending on the model. These scales help calculate accurate postage and reduce the risk of overpaying or underpaying.
