EN
If you are using the same delivery option for a minimum of 20 letter mail items, you can use the postage paid franking impression provided by Österreichische Post instead of stamps. All you have to do is enter the volume and detailed information about your item in a letter mail posting list (see download area) and pay for postage at the Österreichische Post counter.
Below you will find information about the different design options available for postage paid franking impressions.
These postage paid franking impressions can be created on the German-language site only.
This applies to all international letter mail (Priority items additionally need to be labelled as such, e.g., by using the blue Austrian Post Priority sticker).
In the second-to-last line, the acceptance location including the postcode must be indicated.
If you design your own cash franking impression, you must use the exact dimensions and typography for the text block (see specifications in the download area).
