Explore Addressing & Mail Production Solutions
Print and mail equipment automates the production steps used to prepare printed pieces for mailing. Depending on the application, a workflow may feed documents or mailpieces, fold and collate materials, insert them into envelopes, print addresses and barcodes, apply tabs or stamps, verify assembly, sort completed pieces, and organize output.
The appropriate equipment depends on the mailpiece, production volume, number of inserts, addressing requirements, job variety, integrity controls, available space, and existing workflow.
Each stage of mail production serves a different purpose. Explore the equipment types below to find the area most relevant to your operation.
Introduce sheets, envelopes, cards, booklets, and other materials into production, then fold documents into the format required for inserting, mailing, or another downstream process.
Available configurations may support standalone operation or connection with inserters, addressing systems, and other production equipment.
Explore Feeders & FoldersAutomate the assembly of documents, inserts, reply envelopes, cards, and other components into finished mailpieces.
Systems may range from straightforward folder inserters to modular production mail inserters designed for larger volumes, additional feeders, and more complex document sets.
Explore Mail InsertersPrint addresses, barcodes, messages, graphics, and other variable information directly onto envelopes, postcards, self-mailers, and additional supported mailpiece formats.
Equipment selection depends on mailpiece dimensions, print area, surface, data requirements, production speed, and surrounding transport equipment.
Explore Addressing SystemsPrepare eligible mailpieces for the next production or mailing stage by applying tabs, seals, or stamps in a controlled process.
The correct configuration depends on the mailpiece format, application location, production speed, material, and required number of tabs or stamps.
Explore Tabbers & Stamp AffixersConfirm mailpiece assembly, read supported barcodes or marks, organize completed pieces, and manage output using verification systems, sorters, conveyors, and stackers.
Available capabilities depend on the selected equipment, software, production data, and level of mailpiece integrity required.
Explore Sorting & Verification EquipmentEquipment should be selected around the jobs being produced, not simply the highest advertised machine speed.
Evaluate envelope sizes, sheets, cards, booklets, self-mailers, flats, material thicknesses, and the number of components required in each finished piece.
Review average volume, peak production, recurring jobs, turnaround expectations, and how often operators change between formats or applications.
Determine whether the workflow requires variable addressing, barcodes, personalized information, document matching, camera verification, sorting, or job tracking.
Review current printers, feeders, inserters, conveyors, software processes, operator responsibilities, floor space, material staging, and output handling.

Explore Service & SupportATP provides equipment across feeding, folding, inserting, addressing, tabbing, stamp affixing, sorting, verification, and output handling. Available equipment and support depend on the application, manufacturer, model, and project requirements.
A folder inserter generally folds documents and inserts them into envelopes for straightforward mailing applications. Production mail inserters are typically designed for larger volumes, additional feeders, more complex document sets, advanced integrity controls, or connected production processes.
In many applications, addressing, barcode reading, camera verification, conveyors, or output equipment may be added to an existing workflow. Compatibility depends on mailpiece dimensions, line speed, controls, available space, and the equipment already in place.
Helpful information includes mailpiece samples, envelope sizes, document and insert counts, production volume, required speed, addressing needs, verification requirements, current equipment, available floor space, and photographs or video of the existing process.
