Direct Mail Fulfilment

Envelope enclosing
Our multi-station Buhrs BB300, CMC, and Pitney Bowes envelope enclosing machines are able to insert letters, leaflets, brochures etc into envelopes at very high speeds keeping our prices low. Our envelope inserting capabilities include:

• Up to six inserts.

• DL to C4 envelope sizes.

• Up to 10,000 per hour, selective inserting of primary document

• Camera and barcode/datamatrix reader to ensure 100% integrity

• Windowed and non-windowed envelopes.

• Plain and printed envelopes.

Laser printing
With our market leading Xerox Nuvera monochrome digital printers we provide fast and efficient sheet-fed printing.

We also have the Oce Pagestream 440 continuous laser production lines which is suitable for very high volume runs, printing on paper reels or fanfolded paper.

Automated tabbing
We offer automated tabbing of selfmailers / one piece mailers with our high speed Kirk Rudy tabbing machine. It is a three way tabbing machine, and we stock clear horizontal and verticle perf tabs.

Our tabbing machine is a recent investment and is an example of how we adapt to market demands as self-mailers have grown in popularity. Automating the tabbing process has saved clients money and improved turn around times as tabbing by hand is much more time consuming and costly than using tabbing machines.

Inkjet printing
Our inkjetting technology is the Domino Amjet Bitjet 212 Inkjet Printing Systems. This provides high quality fast inkjetting of:

• Names and addresses.

• Variable postal indicia.

• Barcodes.

• Return addresses.

• Messages.

We print directly onto a variety of items including envelopes, brochures, catalogues, one-piece mailers, and polythene wrap.

Trimming, guillotining, and folding
We have machinery to undertake a variety of print finishing activities.

Polywrapping
As an alternative to traditional direct mail in envelopes we can also provide polywrapping of direct mail, catalogues, and magazines.

Our team of handworkers produce mail that is not machinable, or is too low volume to justify setting up a machine. This includes:

• Polybagging

• Collation

• Kitting

• Bellybanding

• Enveloping

• Enclosing into jiffy bags and boxes etc

By employing handworkers as well as machines we can usually meet the needs of all of our clients, whether you have a simple mailing or complex packaging requirement.

We are experienced in adhering to the requirements of the various postal operators that collect from us. We sort mail and make it ready for collection by Royal Mail, alternative UK postal services, international postal operators, and courier companies every day.

Wherever possible these processes are automated to reduce costs and improve production speeds and quality. Typically this involves sorting the data before the mail is produced rather than sorting the mail pieces, and we can also format addresses and print barcodes where necessary to achieve the best postage rates.

This data work and document management work is undertaken in our Data Processing Department, they utilise a range of IT systems which you can read about here >>
