Whether you send a handful of letters a day or a steady flow of post and small parcels, the Quadient iX-4 helps you control costs, save time at the Post Office and give every item a polished, branded finish.
Compact and efficient design
The Quadient iX-4 is compact enough for a standard office desk but powerful enough to handle real-world mixed mail.
Large weighing platform and mixed mail handling
The optional large weighing platform is designed so that boxes and larger envelopes do not block the display. You can weigh items piece-by-piece or stack them for faster processing, helping to prevent overpaying on postage and avoiding underpaid mail charges.
