Mechanical Folding and Inserting Is Quick and Efficient
When you want to free up valuable staff
time and get your materials into the mail
stream without delay, Mail Services' high-speed
document inserter can meet your needs. Even
better, it can tailor each set of enclosures
for specific recipients by pre-coded address
database. It can also insert personalized
documents of variable length such as financial
statements.
Whether you have items that require folding
(cut sheets) such as letters, or separate
enclosures such as return envelopes, brochures,
fliers, or postcards, we can put it all together
for you in one continuous manufacturing operation
that includes mechanically folding, gathering,
and inserting.
The
number of possible inserts that can be
gathered and folded depends on the fold
style and envelope size. For example, up
to seven cut sheets can be accordion folded
and inserted into a number 10 envelope. Up
to ten sheets can be half-folded and inserted
in a 6.5 " x 9.5 " envelope.
In addition to these cut sheet capabilities,
up to six different enclosures can be mechanically
added to the mix.
We
can give you ideas about how our intelligent
inserting capabilities using OMR (Optical
Mark Reading) control marks added to the
document print stream can support your processes.

Mail Services at (734) 764-9227.

Choosing the Right Envelope for Mechanical
Insertion
Not
all envelopes can be processed mechanically.
Envelope paper stock may range from 20# to
28#, 24# is suggested. Check with Mail Services
on envelope seams, window placement, flap
and throat requirements. Envelope dimensions
should not vary more than +/- .0625."
| Calculating
Envelope Width |
- Measure
the width of the largest enclosure
- Add
the thickness of the entire collation
- Add
.125" (as a general rule of thumb,
the width of the largest insert should
be .5 " shorter than the width of
the outside envelope)
|
| Calculating
Envelope Depth |
- Measure
the height of the largest enclosure
- Add
the thickness of the entire collation
- The
height should be .25" to .50" shorter
than the outside envelope
