If you want your undeliverable franked mail returned to you,
you will need to incorporate an ERA on your mail.
Pre-print your stationery - you may already
have your stationery pre-printed with your brand or logo,
check with your printer so they can advise on how to incorporate
an ERA on your envelopes in the correct place (as stated elsewhere on this page).
If you post very small volumes you may wish
to use a hand-stamp to put an ERA on the back of your envelopes
once sealed. Hand-stamps are a cheap and effective method
of placing an ERA on smaller volumes.
If you already use a franking machine to
frank your mail, why not ask your supplier if you can incorporate
an ERA in to your franking impression, this is an efficient
method of ensuring all your mail includes an ERA.

If you use franked mail you are probably aware of the new rules
concerning ERA ( External Return Address ).
From 4th October 2004, if you want your undeliverable franked
mail to be returned to you, you must include an ERA. From then,
The Royal Mail will be ending their return service for undelivered
franked mail without an ERA, so those items will be disposed of.
Undeliverable means:
an item is impracticable or unreasonable to deliver
the delivery address is unsafe
the delivery address is not permanently occupied
the item does not have a complete, correct or legible address
The best place to put your ERA is on the back of your
mail (in the middle at the top, no bigger than 70mm x
30mm), which means your stationery must be pre-printed.
Alternatively, you can put it in the slogan block in your
franking impression (ask your supplier who will automatically
apply Royal Mail's 'Return Address Guidelines' issued
to them).
If you wish your company to remain anonymous, you can
have a PO Box address as your ERA.
Call 08457 950 950 to arrange this.
If you have artwork already prepared, just send this over to us and we will check for any potential problems. If necessary, we will email back a pdf proof for you to final check.
If you do not have an account with us, then payment will need to be arranged, and can be made via Credit Card, PayPal or Cheque, (which would need to clear before we start the print run).
A member of our sales team will make contact to arrange all the details and give you a delivery date.
Please use any of the 'contact us / request a quote' links found on most pages of the site. This will direct your enquiry into a ticketing system, that will enable us to keep track of all correspondence.
