Postage meters

PostBase Mini

PostBase Mini is the smallest member of FP's PostBase line, built for a small business or home office that mails a light volume of letters. It is a compact, economical meter with the same full-color touchscreen as the larger PostBase models, and it is USPS IMI-approved like every PostBase.

You feed letters by hand, one at a time, and it prints up to 17 a minute, which is plenty for a few hundred pieces a month. It is as quiet as an office conversation, and it fits on a corner of a desk.

PostBase Mini

PostBase's award-winning design in a brilliantly small form.

PostBase Mini gives a small business the PostBase experience at desk scale. The color touchscreen makes setup and daily use as simple as a bank ATM, the integrated 5 lb scale rates letters and small packages, and postage is available around the clock through MyFP over your network connection.

It keeps ten cost accounts and ten quick-select rate shortcuts, carries the full set of USPS rates and Extra Services with automatic downloads, and prints one standard and two custom envelope graphics plus a line of custom text. A high-capacity ink cartridge lasts up to about 1,900 imprints and is easy to change. PIN protection keeps postage where it belongs.

The integrated scale comes in five colors: black as standard, or blue, teal, clear or red to match your office. A license for FP Parcel Shipping with USPS rates is included, so packages get compared, labeled and tracked from the same desk.

Who it is for

Choose the Mini if you mail letters by the handful rather than by the tray: a home office, a small practice, a nonprofit, a shop. If you are past a few hundred pieces a month or need a heavier scale and more accounts, the PostBase i3 is the next step up.
