Selecting a Folder Inserter/Envelope Stuffer

The right folder-inserter for your needs depends upon a number of factors, but primarily:

1. The paper stock you are using (thickness, stiffness, and whether glossy).

2. The number and type of pieces that go into the envelope (you need a feeder for each different type, e.g. letter, flyer and reply envelope).

3. Whether the number of sheets varies by envelope. For instance, customer 1 gets a 2 page invoice. Customer 2 gets a 3 page, etc. If so, you need the optional Bar Code or Optical Mark Recognition which puts the right set into the envelope.

4. The monthly volume (number of stuffed envelopes processed) Each model has a monthly maximum. Our machines range from 5,000 to 200,000 maximum per month.

Only one type of Envelope works in Folder Inserter Machines

All folder-inserters must use the type of envelope shown. It is generally a standard #10 commercial envelope with a single or double window. The flaps and seams must be on a diagonal, not straight. The flap is V shaped and has rounded corners as shown in the example. If reply envelopes are used, they should be #8 size with similar construction. Some of the higher rated machines can accept 6.5" x 9.5" or 10" x 13" envelopes. Whatever the size, the flaps and seams must be shaped like this. If you need an envelope supplier, we can recommend one.
