Give us your worst stock.
It comes out straight.

Fat, lumpy, uneven, curled, glossy, stuffed. However it came off the press is how you load it — nobody has to jog the stack square first, and nobody has to fan it by hand.

Load it and run it

Pick a piece, leave the stack as uneven as it really is, and set it going. The counter is the point: it keeps climbing, and the jam count stays where it started.

A drawing of the real thing. The video from St. Louis replaces it — same stack, same counter, actual machine.

What people actually run on these

Twenty-odd years of jobs, and the list keeps getting stranger. If your piece is not on it, that is not a no — it is the reason the sample offer exists.

Mail

No. 10 and 6 x 9 envelopes, stuffed and lumpy ones included. Self-mailers, folded work, postcards, remittance envelopes, poly-wrapped mailers.

Print

Business cards, plastic cards, tickets, coupons, labels and label sheets, booklets, catalogs, wall calendars, tipped and bound pieces.

Packaging

Chipboard and corrugated inserts, poly bags, lids, coupons dropped into cartons, discs in sleeves, product literature.

The awkward ones

Magnets. Warped calendars. Glossy stock that sticks to itself. Pieces with a lump at one corner. The jobs that stopped the last feeder.

Why uneven stock is the hard part

The lump is not the problem. The pinch is.

A stuffed envelope is thicker at one end. A calendar is bound at the top. Glossy stock cold-welds to the sheet under it. On a feeder that pinches pieces between two rollers, any of those will take the next piece along for the ride — and now you have a double, a skew, or a stop.

Buckle separation works off the leading edge instead. The piece buckles against a fixed separator and slips under on its own, so what is happening at the back of the piece stops mattering.

Three sizes and a short list of options. No custom engineering, no six-week discovery, no quote that needs a meeting to explain. Tell us the piece and the job, and there is a machine and a number at the end of it.
