KAS Paper Systems has recently designed, manufactured and installed a bespoke envelope inserter for a customer in France.
The customer, whose postcard App allows subscribers to upload holiday photographs for example, prints the images onto postcards which are then inserted into envelopes on the KAS machine.
The KAS inserter feeds each postcard, reading a 2D barcode on the card, inserts the postcard into an envelope which it then seals and turns over before printing the recipient’s address from the 2D code, on the envelope.
You can see a video of the machine working here:

Error Divert
Integrity of mailing data is obviously critically important for users sending secure data, such as those in the financial services sector. So, when an error occurs on a mailing line, how can you ensure that the error is rectified properly and that everything is still in order and in the right place on restart? The answer is Error Divert and it is now a required option for most of our mailing system customers.
Variable Thickness Booklet Feeders
As personalised printing becomes more advanced, the production of personalised booklets is now becoming more commonplace. But with pages of personalised data unique to each individual, these booklets can be of very variable thickness. So how are mailrooms dealing with the automated inserting of these booklets into envelopes on the mailing line?

  Superior Creative's mailing and fulfilment arm of the business is a relatively new addition to the company, which has been running since 1976. The direct mail department was set up two years ago to service existing client needs. It meant Superior Creative was in the market for a polywrapper.

Superior Creative in Melksham, Wiltshire, has recently installed a Mailwrap polywraper from KAS Paper Systems. The company, which is a significant employer in the area with a workforce of 135 personnel, has over thirty years’ experience in below-the-line point of sale, brand management and retail products. It supplies major retail players in the food and drink industries with a complete design, litho and digital print, e-marketing and fulfillment service.
Two years ago Superior added a direct mail service for its clients. A year ago they moved to nearby premises on the same business park. “It has never been our intention to become a trade mailing house. This service is to meet existing customer requirements so that we can provide them with a total solution to direct mail their promotional material and magazines, which are printed on our Kodak NexPress and Heidelberg litho presses.” said Stewart Powell, Production Director.
“The demand was for polywrapping because clients perceive that they can achieve a better response if the recipients can see what is in the envelope."
