pressure seal

Pressure Seal is the latest concept of one-piece mailing documents and consists in its simplest application of A4 single sheet forms combined with a folder/sealing machine.

The move to laser technology over the past few years has
prompted many organisations to reconsider the manner in which they process their confidential documentation - for example Pay Advices.

An alternative to the more conventional forms constructions, such as peel apart Security Advices or Data Mailers, had to be found.

The A4 forms have a special cohesive strip around the edges that is only activated by processing them through the folder/sealer. The forms are totally compatible with all types of laser and ink-jet printers.

The forms can be personalised in the printer and are then folded and sealed in the pressure seal machine and simply put straight into the post. The folder/sealer can process the forms at speeds over 20,000 items per hour. The desktop entry level system folds and seals at around 2,500 per hour.

This system is ideal for many applications including: Payroll; Cheques; Statements; Invitations; Tickets; etc.

Pressure Seal Case Study

EACS provides the specialised pressure seal forms to the customer's design and installed the pressure seal equipment in conjunction with our partner equipment Manufacturer.

One of our customers - a large payroll bureau based in Eastern England had an existing pay advice consisting of a cumbersome 3-Part Security Advice and was processed through an impact printer. It then had to be decollated and burst in two separate, time-consuming and costly operations.

The concept of a single piece mailer, compatible with laser printers, becomes significantly more attractive but its success is dependant on an effective method of sealing the documents. Sealing methods considered included water, heat and liquid glue but these proved to be unreliable, ineffective or just too costly.

The bureau was anxious to move to laser technology, which they believed offered several advantages including improved presentation for payslip clarity, increased security and effi ciency.

At this stage EACS introduced the idea of the PRESSURE SEAL SYSTEM consisting of A4 cut sheet forms pre-coated with a unique adhesive, only activated by applying high pressure. The forms are then processed through a Pressure Seal Machine, which folds and seals them, at high speed, into a secure and mailable document.

The bureau soon discovered that by adopting the system they would achieve their initial aims of improved presentation and payslip clarity increased security and efficiency.
