Pressure Seal Equipment works by folding a special piece of paper, then using mechanical pressure to physically force the paper's pre-glued edges to bind in such a way that the paper serves as its own fully sealed envelope. Pressure Seal Equipment creates one-piece mailers of this kind that is very useful for payroll checks, blank laser checks, rebate forms, customer invoices, or anything else requiring a degree of confidentiality through the postal system. Direct mail marketing campaigns also often employ such hardware to generate promotional materials that seem very official and important.
Pressure Seal Equipment is generally more cost-effective than insertion machines or, obviously, old-fashioned folding and stuffing by hand - not to mention sealing by tongue, with the licking of pre-glued envelope flaps! Indeed, just print from your computer and feed the output through one and it's done, with nothing more to worry about. Speaking of worries, Pressure Seal Equipment virtually eliminate the risk of error such as enclosing too much or not enough of the materials to be sent by automating such routine tasks.
Entry-level Pressure Seal Equipment is epitomized by the Formax AutoSeal FD 1500, which is a tabletop machine that can create one-piece mailers for moderate-volume environments. It can process up to eighty-five documents a minute and has a monthly duty cycle of twenty thousand documents, just think of all the Blank Laser Checks. This means that machine is rated to handle no more than twenty thousand jobs a month - hence the "moderate-volume" description just given. Not that it will simply break down if used to generate more than twenty thousand mailers a month, but that the manufacturer only guarantees reliability with that level of a workload placed on it. Thus it is nicely situated between the home user and a small business, something that is economical but reliable.
Using narrow bands of pressure-sensitive adhesive to create completely secure seals that totally eliminate the need for envelopes, This technology like the FD 1500 can accept documents up to fourteen inches in height or width as well as Blank Laser Checks. The Formax 402 Series Jogger is available as an option that allows it to automatically align and square any document. It has a top-fed three-roller system to ensure smooth jam-free feeding of those documents through the hardware, and an eighteen-inch conveyor belt to keep everything in neat sequential order. A six-digit resettable counter and locking cabinet for forms set on casters round out the rich feature-set of this machine that aims to pays for itself with increased productivity and operational efficiency straight out of the box.
