Proposed Changes for Letter Size Folded Self Mailers

The USPS has released proposed changes for Tabbing/Glue Standards for Letter Sized Folded Self Mailers. Keep in mind that these are proposed changes so they could be updated before they are made final. You can review the proposed changes in the PDF below which is divided into 10 different categories of folded self mailers.

Proposed Folded Self-Mailer Categories

The main change from the current rules to the new proposed rules is the requirement for all mailing tabs/wafer seals are to be NON-PERFORATED. In addition, if you are applying tabs to folded self mailers, at first glance there are a minimum requirement of 2 tabs required on the more popular designs with up to 3 required depending on the mail piece weight. Also depending on the mail piece weight the proposed rules have different tabs size requirements ranging from 1", 1.5" and even 2" tabs.

We also have a FAQ answered from the USPS as to when these new proposed changes would go into affect:

Q. What is the status of the folded self-mailer study and proposed mailing standard changes?

A. In an effort to align mailpiece designs that have emerged in the marketplace with automation capabilities, USPS, working with MTAC, PCCs and the BSN, initiated a study on folded self-mailers. Building on knowledge from earlier studies, mailers once again had the opportunity to submit additional test material as part of the self-mailer study. Analysis of the data collected during the testing phase has concluded and the internal vetting process has begun.

To share learnings, USPS will conduct a webinar to discuss the results and design specifications with customers, mail service providers, printers, preparers and other members who participated in the study. The broad industry participants will receive advance information of proposed changes and will have an opportunity to provide feedback on how those changes may affect the marketplace. To further the collaboration process, USPS will consider concerns expressed during the webinar as we prepare the proposed mailing standards for publication in the Federal Register. We recognize planning is part of every successful mailing campaign, so it is our intent to provide sufficient lead-time for adjusting to any changes proposed to mailing standards.

We anticipate a proposed Federal Register will be published by the end of this calendar year; with any new standards implemented in mid-to late 2011. Look for additional information on folded self-mailers in the coming months.

If you have any questions as to whether your current tabbing equipment can handle these new proposed changes please contact us assistance (800)899-4402.

2010 Graph Expo News/Updates

Accufast ET Tabber running inline with 2 spools of 75,000 1.5" mailing tabs mounted onto the new Accufast LDM unwinders.

Secap had their new Connect+ Series Full Color Postage Meters. The touchscreen interface easily let's you program jobs, upload custom artwork/logos, package tracking and account management all right at your meter. It is a real simple meter that anyone in your office can use. Secap also had their new SA3000 (5K-LE replacement). This small tabletop address printer is perfect for a small user or business that is just starting out doing their own addressing. Since this printer uses the HP 45A style cartridge (which is available in many different ink formulations) even the small users will be able to print on coated/glossy stocks. Secap also had their new W360 Multi Side, Multi-Tabber primarily used for letter-sized booklet applications (this is the exact same model to the Rena T-650, with different feeders available).

We also got wind of a new ink formulation that will be available from HP which will replace the C8842A Versatile Black ink cartridge. This new ink formulation Versatile Black will work better with coated stocks allowing for even quicker drying times.

At the Neopost/Rena Systems booth, they had a Rena Mach5 (AstroJet M1) full color page/envelope printer. At 1600 dpi the envelopes they were printing looked very good, better than any other high speed full color inkjet printer on the market right now. Look for a December launch date.

Duplo had their new DC-745 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser that can now run up to 10 slits, 20 cuts, and 15 creases all in a single pass at up to 50 sheets per minute! This new unit will be available in December. We also got to see their small run DFS-3500 Bookletmaking System that can crease, fold, slit, stitch and trim for full-bleed bookets. Duplo also has a new line of digital duplicators that will be available soon!
