Few office work activities score as high on the scale of drudgery and monotony as collating and folding pages and stuffing them into envelopes for a large mailing. Not only is this repetitious activity a mind-numbing morale killer for the employees involved,

its time consuming and labor intensive nature makes it a potentially expensive proposition for the employer footing the bill.

As with so many things in the office and elsewhere these days, technology offers a better way. Desktop folder inserters can transform the tedious task of mail assembly into a quick, efficient, and more cost-effective operation. By reducing the person hours involved in assembling a mailing and getting it out the door, a folder inserter can eventually pay for itself through increased productivity. In this article, we'll examine the features of folder inserters from several different manufacturers to help you choose one to best fit your needs.

Pitney Bowes 5 Series Desktop Inserting System

The 5 Series automates the inserting process with advanced technology previously available only on high-- volume production systems. The automated inserting process produces a cycle speed of 4,200 pieces per hour. With optional optical mark recognition (OMR), mail can be customized for billing and direct marketing applications. OMR, combined with double-- document detectors, assures consistent mailing accuracy. The unit's state-ofthe-art paper-handling features maximize uptime while minimizing document damage, and its modular design allows the system to adapt to the user's business needs.
