Resources for Mail Sealing Machines

Mail sealing machines help large and small businesses expedite correspondence amongst employees, clients and prospective clients. Any business that relies heavily on direct mail marketing, employs a large number of people or processes large amounts of correspondence, benefits from having envelope sealing machines.

A letter sealing machine eliminates the need for manual flap folding and sealing. This helps companies manage their outgoing mail efficiently, and turn out thousands of sealed letters a day. Mail sealing machines are also useful for payroll checks, invoices and tax forms. When shopping for a mail sealing machine, you should consider the following:

1. The most proficient mail sealer is an automatic sealer, but there are cheaper manual sealers. The best sealer can process both unnested and nested envelopes.

2. Check the speed of the letter sealer before making a purchase. The amount of envelopes sealed per minute effects the total output of mail you process each day.

3. Postage sealing machines provide the postage and seal the envelope. This is a good option for businesses who output thousands of pieces of mail a day.

Choose an envelope sealer machine that's the right size for your company

A large envelope sealer is best for a big company who needs a large output of mail processed each day. Large sealers work best in a company's mail room or copy room. Smaller businesses, or businesses run out of a home, can consider a desktop mail sealer for smaller quantities of mail.

Pick an envelope sealing machine with a reasonable output speed

Whether you need 5,000 sealed letters or 50, there is a mail machine sealing solution for your company. Automatic sealers churn out more envelopes, but that doesn't mean a manual feeder doesn't save a small business time and money.

Rent postage sealing machines to get two jobs done at once

Businesses that output large parcels of daily mail benefit from renting a postage meter. You can rent the base along with the meter, but specialized bases that provide automatic feed and sealing are available for sale. While the initial investment might seem high, you save money in the long run by reducing your monthly rental fee.

• Envelope size is another important aspect of mail sealing machines, but most machines process the typical sizes and popular fold styles of most envelopes. If the machine you like doesn't seal large envelopes, talk to the supplier about an optional sealing kit provided for some machines.
