Pitney Bowes Connect+ 3000 Pro Postage Meter Handles High Mail Volumes with Ease

The Connect+ 3000 Pro is fast and very high powered, capable of processing speeds exceeding 18000 pieces per hour, making it one of the fastest machines on the market. Because of this, you can expect to pay a bit more for this top-of-the-line model, but for businesses that demand a high-volume meter that is built to be durable and hold up under the workload, the time savings will be worth it. Full features and flexibility including custom envelopes, custom advertising messages, package tracking on all major carriers, mail permits, indicias, on-screen tutorials and much more make this mailing system robust, and one of, if not the most complete mailing systems reviewed by our team.

You can expect to pay around $300 to $400 per month for a system of this quality. At 72 1/2 inches long by 28 inches deep and 24 inches high for the basic model, you need to make sure you have adequate space dedicated to this postage system. Adding on the color solution and power stacker will take it out to 99 inches in length – that’s 8 ft 3 in. Optional Weigh-On-The-Way® dynamic weighing will only slow this puppy down slightly to 205 LPM, and non-WOW processing will get you up to 310 LPM, allowing the flexibility to process mixed size and weight pieces automatically in a single run. See full specifications on the Connect+ 3000 Pro here. If you run a production environment that processes a ton of mail, this Pitney Bowes system is definitely worth a look.
