Sussex-based Pureprint Group has invested in the Quadient DS-1200G4i inserter, described as ‘an intelligent automated enclosing line’, to expand its direct mail capabilities.
The machine was installed at the company’s 13,657sqm factory space in Uckfield, East Sussex and comes with Aims-500 Software for automated compliance and reporting. According to the company, the new piece of kit enables automated multiple item matching, maximum volume mail sorting and reduced downtime between job change over resulting in increased volume output per day.
The DS-1200 G4i folder inserter is designed to operate at 12,000 items per hour. It can fold up to 26,000 sheets per hour and add up to eight separate inserts. The unit’s fully automatic job change enables completion of a variety of jobs, involving different envelope sizes, in a single day. Switching from one job to another takes a matter of minutes, allowing minimum downtime between jobs.
Craig Berresford, manufacturing director at Pureprint, said, ‘Our new Quadient DS-1200 G4i has proved to be a huge success and a game-changer for our mailing capabilities. The kit complements our offering with our HP Indigo digital machines personalised product. Overall speed to market has also improved, giving clients a faster turnaround time, which is key for the business.’
The direct mail team is expanding with Simon Harding, formerly of Ink Direct and MBA Group, joining the group earlier this month.
