Can Cleanmail Advance Benefit Your Business?

Cleanmail® Advance is an efficient way of preparing mail so that addresses can be read by Royal Mail's sorting machines. And, because you save the Royal Mail time by helping them to sort automatically, you get item based discounts of 12% (based on accuracy determined by Royal Mail sorting machines).

The basic qualifications for cleanmail advance are:

• Cleanmail only applies to posts of 1000 letters or more.
  
  
• The maximum letter size is 240mm x 165mm and the minimum size is 145mm x 110mm. The maximum thickness is 5mm and the minimum thickness is .25mm.
  
  
• Royal Mail will supply you with a licence number and this must be applied to the envelope on your post. This can be done by certain franking machines. The Optimail, Ultimail and Jetmail franking machines supplied by FP-IMS are all capable of applying this licence. (To find out more about the application of the licence, you can call us on 0870 066 3526).
  
  
• The letters must be separated by class and presented to the Royal Mail in trays that they provide.
  
  
• The address must be machine printed in a defined area of the letter to be read by Royal Mail sorting machines. The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) address specification is recommended to maximise discounts but it is not compulsory.
  
  
• Royal Mail require certain areas of the mailpiece to have no markings, these are called clearzones. These areas are where Royal Mail barcodes will be printed on each item. The barcodes are for Royal Mail sorting machines to print and read codes on letters to enable mechanical sortation.
