FOLDING & INSERTING

The PFE Automailer2, a high speed document inserter, is one of our most used pieces of equipment. Purchased from PFE International : Manufacturers of mailing and forms handling equipment worldwide.
The PFE Automailer2 allows a wide range of envelope sizes and can fold up to two separate sheets of non-collated forms or up to six collated forms. These forms can then be inserted into most envelopes which are then sealed and ready for processing and postage. In addition, the automailer can insert a return envelope or flyer of similar size.
The cost of this service begins with a $17.50 set-up fee and then charges an additional pro-rata amount begining at $7.00 per thousand for simple folding jobs or at $7.50 per thousand if the mail piece is to be folded and inserted into an envelope. If properly prepared, we can fold and/or insert up to four pages simultaneously. The cost per thousand increase by $1.00 for each additional pieces to be folded or inserted.

TABS & LABELS

For some bulk mailings, the U.S.P.S. requires that open newsletters, flyers, and similar brochures be taped or tabbed closed. The Accufast KT 2 can quickly and efficiently tab these documents. The cost consists of a $17.50 set-up fee and a further $7.00 or $15.00 per thousand, depending on whether one or two tabs are necessary.
If your department has pre-printed address labels to be affixed to your mail-out, our Accufast XL labeler can quickly place them even and straight on your mail-out. This service requires that the labels be on a standard one-up, z-folded label sheet. The cost of this service is an initial $17.50 set-up fee and an additional cost of $6.00 per thousand.
If your mail-out is need of both of the above services together, there is only one set-up fee charged.

DIRECT ADDRESS PRINTING & VERIFICATION

This service requires a database of mailing addresses. Excel is the preferred format; However, we can also use delimited text, fixed length text, Access, as well as Lotus 1-2-3, Paradox and .DBF files. We then take your addresses, verify them for accuracy and postal addressing standards. The addresses are then prepared for first class pre-sort or bulk mailing, depending on your preference. We then print the addresses directly onto the mail itself and include a U.S. postal approved bar-code to ensure greater accuracy and speed of delivery. We can, on request also provide a database of those addresses that did not verify and the reasons why, so that you may correct your own database to ensure better accuracy on future mailings.
All of this service is provided for an initial set-up fee of $17.50 and a further cost of $7.50 per thousand. If your mail piece does not have the pre-paid postage indicia we can also print this on your mail piece when we print the addresses. The cost for printing the indica is an additional $4.00 per thousand.
