KINGSEAL PRESSURE SEAL MAILERS






Mailers

What are KingSeal Mailers?

KingSeal is our pressure seal mailer - a one-part form that folds and seals to create a mail piece without requiring envelopes - the form itself also serves as the envelope. Here's how it's done.

  1. Forms are manufactured with a special sealing cohesive printed around the edges and designed so that data is imaged on some panels and the address info on another panel.
  2. After information is imaged by computer printers, equipment folds and applies pressure to the form, sealing the edges to enclose the confidential data while exposing the address area, creating a ready-to-mail document.
  3. The recipient opens the document using perforations applied during manufacturing.

What are the Benefits of KingSeal Mailer System?

Simplified System Operations

Reduced Operating Overhead

Faster Entry into the Distribution System
  • Conventional Post Processing operations include tasks such as staging components, folding, loading envelopes into inserters, inserting, sealing, and affixing postage. KingSeal mailing system eliminates or reduces these tasks, making the entire process more streamlined and efficient.
  • With KingSeal, there are no envelopes to stage or load, so two steps are eliminated.
  • Since the form serves as its own envelope, there is no need to insert, which eliminates another task.
  • The postage can be imaged on the form by your computer printer, so another step is eliminated completely.
  • And finally the equipment folds and seals simultaneously. This streamlines the entire process, which reduces labor costs and operating overhead, while getting the documents into the distribution stream much quicker!
KingSeal Dry Cohesive
  • Unlike other one-piece mailing systems, KingSeal does not require water to activate the cohesive, or bottles of messy glue to fill. This keeps your processing environment clean, and eliminates downtime required to refill, clean, and setup folding/sealing equipment.
  • This results in faster throughput and more efficient overall processing.
Security and Confidentiality of Data
  • Since the system uses no envelopes, there is no chance of two documents being inserted into one envelope, so confidentiality of data and the application is greatly increased.
  • Our method of creating the seal provides a more secure seal than other sealing methods.
  • Using one part forms means all data entries are original image instead of carbon or carbonless copies. This makes it more difficult to alter information, such as check amounts, than with forms using carbon or carbonless impressions.
Easy Forms Processing through Printers
  • There are no windows or die-cuts on KingSeal forms, so forms process smoothly and reliably through all types of printers - cut sheet, continuous, laser, or impact, data production or desktop models. This means there is less downtime to clear printer jams or process reprints!
  • KingSeal cohesive is compatible with virtually every type of printer in the marketplace, assuring reliable processing.
Simple Programming
  • Form layouts are designed as letter (C), zigzag (Z), or single (V) folds, meaning very little programming changes are required. Generally, all that needs to be done is to reformat the printout, not the application program itself.
Easier Forms Ordering, Storage, and Staging
  • Eliminating envelopes simplifies procurement and reduces shipping and storage costs.
  • Costs and time required for distribution and staging processes are reduced, so the entire mail preparation process is smoother, more efficient, and completed sooner.
Improved Postal Processing and Reduced Postal Codes
  • By using your computer printer to print the address directly onto the face of the address panel, the data is clearer and more legible than documents or envelopes using die cut windows, which means postal equipment is better able to read and process your mailings.
  • Using your printer to image PostNet bar codes directly onto the address panel can significantly reduce postage costs!

Formats and Constructions

KingSeal Mailers are available in cut sheet, continuous (fanfold), and roll formats, in 11 and 14 inch lengths. The application, printer used to image the data, and the folding/sealing equipment used to process the application determines which size and format you select. KingSeal Mailers are available in three primary fold constructions as detailed below.

Z FOLD
Z Fold
(ZIGZAG)

A three panel design that provides two panels of enclosed data and one panel for exposed address information. This is the most popular construction since all data is computer imaged on one side of the sheet (simplex), eliminating the need for windows, or two-sided imaging (duplex). Available in 11 and 14 inch lengths.

C FOLD
C Fold
(LETTER FOLD)

Provides more data entry space than Z fold. All three panels of the inside are used for enclosed data, while one panel of the outside is used for address information. C Fold constructions require that the computer printer be capable of two-sided imaging (duplexing). Available in 11 and 14 inch lengths.

V FOLD
V Fold
(SINGLE FOLD)

Provides more data entry space than Z fold. Both panels of the inside are used for enclosed data, while one panel of the outside is used for address information. V fold construction is ideal for applications that appear as a letter since it opens for easier reading, or for two sets of the same data. V fold constructions require that the computer printer be capable of two-sided imaging (duplexing). Available in 8-1/2 and 11 inch lengths to meet USPS requirements.
