FP Group wins red dot award: product design 2012 with PostBase
New franking system impresses international panel of experts with its
design and product concept
Birkenwerder, 2 May 2012. Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG, the first
multi-channel provider for mail communication, impressed the international
panel for the red dot award, comprising 30 experts, with its new PostBase
franking system. The company has been awarded the accolade in the
discipline of 'product design 2012'. Alongside its innovative design,
PostBase was also judged on the criteria of surface feel, functionality and
environmental sustainability.
The award highlights the fact that PostBase is much more than just an
ordinary franking machine. 'Decades of experience have gone into developing
PostBase', comments Andreas Drechsler, Chief Sales Officer of
Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG. 'We have taken great efforts to ensure that
PostBase is not only easy to use, but that it also meets the requirements
of modern office design. Hence the innovations not only include one-button
technology, but also a touch display, which makes for an intuitive user
interface', Mr Drechsler goes on to say. The colour concept is also
remarkable. Unlike traditional franking machines, PostBase can be ordered
in a range of exclusive colours in line with modern office design.
PostBase combines analogue and digital mail communication
All-in-all, the product design goes far beyond the realms of an ordinary
machine. PostBase is a combination of the analogue and digital worlds of
mail communication. All of the traditional franking machine functions can
also be controlled from the PC with the aid of a built-in self-explanatory
operating system. Users can access all partially and fully electronic
communication channels via the FP online portal, just like De-Mail for
example.
Drechsler was suitably delighted about the awarding of the design prize:
'The award reaffirms our high expectations of PostBase. In our view, it is
testament to the fact that we have defined a new set of standards with
PostBase.'
The winning products on display in the red dot design museum
The internationally renowned quality seal will be officially bestowed on 2
July 2012 as part of the traditional red dot gala. Over 1,000 international
guests from the worlds of design, economics, politics and media will gather
together at Essen's Aalto-Theater to celebrate the climax of this year's
competition. PostBase will then be on display from 3-29 July 2012 in the
special 'Design on stage - winners red dot award: product design 2012'
exhibition in the red dot design museum in Essen.
