You may pre date an envelope with a postage machine. Be sure to mail it prior to that date. You may also leave the date blank and print the postage. Fill in the date with a pen on the day you mail it. The Post Office has many rules, and believe it or not, the rules change form PO to PO. They usually will not complain on this though.
Sure does!
A franking machine is a small device that places stamps on mail. It is a quicker process than placing them on by hand, and they are still used today. They can be found on "Business Reply" pre-stamped envelopes that are sometimes enclosed inside along with a bill or donation request.
Most envelopes are pre-glued with 'gum arabic'

The design is probably Scott Number 812. The value will depend on the type of pre-cancel and the condition of the stamp.
In most cases the value is going to be based upon the value of the stamp itself. The pre-cancel may be of interest to specific collectors. Some collectors believe they de-value the stamp. Some experimental pre-cancels can be quite valuable.
Pre-paid envelopes are pre-addressed back to the company who paid the pre-postage. Since you are not the company, you cannot white-out or paste over the address to use the pre-paid status. If you hate junk mail as much as I do, one trick is to use the pre-paid envelope to send back every piece of paper they sent to you! If you do, draw lines through any credit card application (so no one can commit fraud), and write in BLOCK letters next to your name/address, "Remove from mailing list." I also heard of another person who "returns" all pieces of junk in their pre-paid envelopes, except, they put Company A's papers into Company J's envelope... just to protest. If you do this, REMOVE all mentions of your address and X out all application blanks. Also, put yourself on the National block list for Junk Mailers.

You can cut it off the envelope. However, it will not be valid for postage.
