Folding/Inserting Solutions
One of the USPS's goals with the new Shape-Based Pricing structure is to reduce the time and cost it takes it to process oversized mail (flats and parcels). Under Shape-Based Pricing, the USPS wants to motivate customers to switch from using flats to letter-sized mail by providing steep price discounts. Through the use of a folder/inserter to reconfigure your flats to fit into letter envelopes, you can reduce the amount of postage per piece by up to 32%.
Not only will a folder/inserter help you shift your documents into a letter envelope, but it will significantly reduce the amount of labor and time you spend on processing these items. A typical folder/inserter can reduce the time you manually spend hand folding, inserting and sealing these items by up to 90%. Plus, it can provide a higher level of security and document integrity, thus ensuring the appropriate items are sent to the right person.
