| Inserting |
|
|
Our inserting staff offers quick set
up for most envelopes sized for letters. Utilizing six
inserters with six pockets and attached meter bases,
we are accustomed to short and long runs.
We also are suited for manual assembly of flats and
odd sized pieces. |
| |
|
| |
| Tabbing |
|
|
Our staff use tabbing machines in-line
and off-line to seal mailers, apply stamps, or to label
prior to inkjet.
The Postal Service runs mail through machines utilizing
belts and pulleys at high speeds. Self-mailers will
be shredded in this environment without proper tabbing.
Therefore, to obtain automation rates for self-mailers
(letter size) they must be sealed by tabs.
We stock several types of tabs for most applications.

|
| |
| Tip-on |
|
|
Add
a discount card, magnet, or other premium to your personalized
self mailer using our tip-on and plowfold production.
Using hot glue and electronic feed systems, we tip,
glue, plough fold, seal and personalize in one fluid
process.

| What
is a Drop Shipment? |
|
|
The USPS offers lower postage rates
for both Standard and Periodicals mail to encourage
mailers to move the mail closer to the point of delivery.
Drop shipment refers to trucking and entering mail at
postal sorting facilities closer to its final destination.
We regularly prepare mailings at FlexDigital for such
savings. Typically, we analyze your data for the potential
savings versus the cost of trucking. Many of our customers
choose drop shipment for the time it can save in delivery.
There are three destination entry discounts for Standard
mail: the Destination Delivery Unit (DDU) discount,
the Bulk Mail Center (BMC) discount and the Sectional
Center Facility (SCF) discount. Although the DDU is
the largest discount available, it's available only
in very specific high-density carrier-route mailings;
consequently, we tend to focus instead on the BMC and
SCF discounts.
At FlexDigital, we offer it all; on-site postal inspection,
Merlin for rapid acceptance or staging of your drop
shipments.

| |
| Merlin
and On-Site Postal Entry |
|
|
Due to the large daily volume of mail we process at
FlexDigital, the USPS provides complete mail acceptance
services on-site in our facility Monday through Friday.
We stage, present, pay and undergo strict quality control
via postal inspection and the use of MERLIN(TM). In
fact, we were the first private install of MERLIN(TM)
in the state of Alabama, and have an exemplary relationship
with the US Postal Service. We work closely with the
USPS with the goal of moving your mail through to delivery
without a hitch.
