Placement accuracy: +/- 1/8” at 125 feet/ minute (equals approximately 8M 8 ˝ x 11 sized sigs/ hour). This tolerance would apply for both directions (left and right, up and down).

Advantages: This machine is designed to “tip-on” or “merge” one component to another, such as a membership or credit card, CD/DVD (as long as they are in a protective sleeve or case), coupon or signature. The machine is portable enough that it can be moved from its’ normal position on a vacuum base to almost anywhere bracketry can be made to support it, and there is a 110 volt outlet available. It requires an encoder attached to a good source on the carrier machine in order to track the running speed, and it uses a photocell to determine when to feed the piece out of it by watching for the carrier sheets’ leading edge.

Benefits: Inserts can be one of the most powerful direct marketing vehicles. And by tipping-on or attaching one component to another, the power of the insert is multiplied: the target market will be engaged by the interactive requirement (pulling the component off). Pacific Bindery Services’ capabilities for tipping-on allow customers a quick, easy and excellent quality solution.
