Pressure seal equipment can help manage the labor costs spent on time-intensive tasks such as manually folding and sealing envelopes for bulky mailings. Setting up pressure seal equipment for use when purchased takes just seven easy steps... and seven may sound like a lot at first, but I'm including steps like Step One: be careful taking the machine out of the box because it's really heavy! Don't forget that with any of the more technical steps, we have trained (friendly!) support staff ready to guide you through the process.
Let's get started.
Step One: Unpacking your pressure seal equipment
The weight of your new pressure seal equipment and tool kit is at least fifty pounds, so when taking it out of the packaging it may be necessary to have an extra person or business employee on hand to help you lift it properly and avoid the chance of serious injury.
Step Two: Insert the paper guides and adjust to the proper width.
One thing that can slow down business productivity is when paper gets jammed in the equipment, preventing it from working properly. This problem can be avoided using the paper guides. Carefully insert the paper guides and adjust to the proper widths to ensure documents will load and print efficiently.
Step Three: Position your Fold Plate Stops.
You need to verify that both Fold Plate Stops are set to the correct position to the form-style you will be using for your mailings – Z-fold, C-fold, EZ-fold, or V-fold.
Step Four: Install the Fold Plates
Both the upper and lower fold plates must be installed according to instructions to ensure your pressure seal equipment works effectively.
Step Five: Follow procedures to plug-in the machine
Plugging in your pressure seal equipment is certainly simple enough, but to ensure that everything continues smoothly it helps to first plug the power cord into the machine before plugging it into the wall outlet.
Step Six: Turning on the machine
Flip the lower power switch to the “On” position and give your machine a few minutes to warm up. Your pressure seal equipment is almost ready to use.
(Get excited, you're about to save time and money!)
Step Seven: Running the Machine
To run the ISM machine, you can push the Start/Stop Switch on the machine's Control Panel. The feed system is preset, but if adjustments need to be made, you can refer to your Operator’s Manual. Remember when loading the machine, the glue leading edge should be facing upward.
Now you're ready to start doing business more efficiently!

Handling corporate finances can be very stressful, especially if you handle paychecks. With every paycheck comes the concern that something could go wrong. Now, thanks to Z-fold mailers, you can rest assured that the paychecks will be folded, sealed, and ready for delivery to your employees.
2. Z-fold pressure seal mailers can be used to send out important notices.

Z-fold pressure seal mailers can take some of the hassle out of this task, too! Your notices will be signed, sealed, and securely delivered in no time.
3. Z-fold mailers can be used for sending grade reports.

4. Z-fold mailers are great for invoices.
Invoices are another integral part of doing business. They contain personal information that we do not want given out to just anybody. With Z-fold mailers, they can be much more easily produced and sent with complete privacy.

Pressure seal self mailers simplify the process of mail preparation.
Old process...
PSMailers process...
Pressure seal self mailer systems enable far easier mail preparation for business. They relieve the demand of having to fold, stuff, seal and post each document individually, which can be a very time-consuming process demanding a lot of your company’s resources that could be used elsewhere. A pressure seal self mailer system relieves the workload by taking away all the menial tasks for you, allowing for effective time management and saved capital.
Pressure seal self mailers decrease buying, storing, and custom printing costs.
A pressure seal self mailer system will greatly decrease the costs involved in buying and storing supplies (not to mention the storage space for those supplies), plus the costs of custom printing envelopes and stationary, thus saving your company’s resources through responsible financial management. Whether the document is 11” or 14” in length with V-folds, C-folds, or Z-folds, pressure seal self mailer forms serve as their own envelopes, eliminating the need to shop for costly stationary.
A pressure seal self mailer system offers the convenience of faster mail processing.
Handling the documents to prepare them for mailing is no longer necessary, saving your company both time and money. The process of printing documents, folding documents, and stuffing envelopes has been cut in half thanks to pressure seal self mailers. After they are printed, the documents are sent directly to the pressure seal machine, which prepares them directly for mailing.
With pressure seal self mailers, postal processing is quick and easy.
Pressure seal self mailer technology allows you to print addresses directly onto the form. In addition, intelligent barcodes can be included, saving your company from many postal processing hassles.
Security and confidentiality will give you peace of mind.
A pressure seal self mailer system provides a more effective seal than a regular envelope, and it can eliminate the chance of errors, as when two confidential documents are accidentally inserted into the same envelope or a document gets mismatched and inserted into the wrong envelope.

Two major factors to advancement in any business are productivity and capital. Job efficiency can increase with reduction of menial tasks like individually stuffing envelopes for large mailings, which requires both time and money that could be put to a more productive use. Better efficiency can thus be achieved by the utilization of pressure seal machines.
How can PSMailers increase company efficiency?
PSMailers are pressure seal self mailers, one-piece sheets that are printed, folded, and sealed like envelopes before mailing. PSMailers meets a business’s mailing needs in one single package, so those rushed trips to the office supply store and the time spent ordering and waiting for envelopes are no longer necessary. Pressure seal documents, equipment, and software come together to provide a solution to your business needs where speed and efficiency are a profitable asset.
Pressure seal machines take the hassle out of issuing paychecks, statements, and invoices. Customer letters, purchase orders, reports, newsletters, and promotions can all be done simply and efficiently, saving time and increasing productivity as well as adding to efficiency by decreasing the supply costs for bulky mailings.
Does it really save time and money?
A large company had multiple offices with each location having between 100 and 300 employees. With so many employees needing to be paid, the company saw the need to streamline its complex
payroll process. The time and costs associated with its methods needed a cost effective pressure seal system, but most other systems were cost prohibitive.
The introduction of PSMailers ISM models provided a viable solution and pulled the company out of its payroll blues. Companies that process a minimum of 6500 documents yearly will find the cost of an ISM pressure seal machine to be justifiable, increasing business efficiency and, in turn, company growth.

Report cards can rack the nerves like a school yard bully... they can be tough on kids too.
Teachers are often the ones most affected by the hurry-up-and-wait environment of processing grade reports. Any reduction in accuracy, consistency, confidentiality, or speed can result in school budget forfeits and/or diminished reputations. Can you imagine an educator looking forward to that time of year? Do you feel like the process should be smoother? cheaper?
Thankfully there's a solution. A PSMailers solution. We want to hear from you though. Tell us how we can help! Schools need money saving mailing options just as much as small businesses do. Unfortunately, many self mailing options and direct mail solutions are cost prohibitive for educators. Know anyone using the Pressure Seal Method? Well, get a load of this...
Pretty generic question... I know.
Small businesses often strive to become decentralized in the interest of allowing more time to do what they do best. Corporations and governments become decentralized to open doors for growth. There are many reasons to do it - and most of the reasons can, and do, prove beneficial.
That said, the process can easily get out of hand too. We're here to help! But first we need to hear your side of the story. Do you bulk mail? use tax forms? use payroll check processes? or have a similar cost/time-intensive process in place?
