The Key Benefits of a Folding Inserting Machine

A folding inserting machine automatically folds documents and stuffs them into envelopes, saving staff time, cutting human error and producing neat, professional mail at speed. It suits any business sending regular invoices, statements or mailshots. Here are the key benefits of using a folding inserting machine.

1. Make better use of staff

Having staff manually fold, insert and seal envelopes is a poor use of their time, especially given how much it costs to recruit and train an employee. A folding inserting machine is a one-time purchase that frees your team for more valuable work while it handles the mail on its own, giving you more productivity and room to grow.

2. No more human error

Everyone makes mistakes, and errors stuffing envelopes can be an expensive risk. Set up correctly, a folding inserting machine removes those mistakes, so every outbound envelope looks professional and reaches the right recipient on time.

3. Increased productivity

No person can work flat out all day, but a folder inserter can. As long as someone is on hand to reload paper and listen for issues, the machine keeps working at a reliable, steady speed, stuffing and sending far more envelopes than manual folding ever could.

4. Precision

Messy, misaligned or torn mail does not inspire confidence. Investing in good paper, quality printing and professional envelopes is a strong start, but damaged letters waste that effort. A folding inserting machine folds, inserts and secures your mail precisely every time, and well-fitted mail is less likely to be damaged in transit.

5. Increased security and comfort

A folding inserting machine adds security that manual handling cannot. Many machines read a barcode on each document and insert exactly the right pages into every envelope, so the correct documents reach the correct recipient every time. Most are also designed to be compact and quiet.

To support your mailroom further, a franking machine is another piece of equipment that benefits most businesses.
