VERSAMAIL – Perfect Extension to Personalization Environments

Card manufacturers are achieving complex finishing on high-volume runs thanks to VERSAMAIL, the cost-effective finishing, packaging and mailing system from Atlantic Zeiser Group, a global technology leader in card personalization. The modular solution is used in a wide variety of applications, from simple attaching to more complex ‘attach and match’ and ‘attach and personalize’ jobs required for gift card packaging and envelope-less loyalty card mailings.

 

 

 

 

Many alternative card mailing and packaging solutions offer features and options for tackling complex jobs, but are compromised by their limited running speed, which leads to a high cost per product. In contrast, VERSAMAIL offers a running speed of up to 28,000 products per hour while still providing the high degree of flexibility required by card manufacturers.

 

VERSAMAIL is simple-to-use and offers fast set-up times and a short learning curve for operators and maximum productivity for card manufacturers. 

 

Highest attach precisions are achieved using Atlantic Zeiser-designed Pick & Place feeders, which enable easy change over between portrait and landscape cards, and can attach even with inline reading of the card’s magstripe without the necessity of any bump turn.

VERSAMAIL offers various folding options and allows inline high-quality carrier printing of variable data, such as numbers, barcodes and addresses.

 

Carl-Michael Heüveldop, Vice President Card Systems, Atlantic Zeiser, comments: “VERSAMAIL is based on a versatile platform, so it can handle a wide range of applications. This kind of flexibility sets it apart from rival systems – other solutions can also handle particular industry jobs, but they are blighted by their limited versatility and high set-up times. VERSAMAIL, on the other hand, can get through 28,000 products per hour by offering a maximum of flexibility with a minimum of set-up times, enabling users to increase their productivity and increase revenue.”
