  • Patent number: 8366094
    Abstract: A method of preparing batches of mailpieces using an envelope-stuffing machine. The method includes printing documents with each page bearing a first marking for causing the related document to be inserted into an envelope, and printing separator sheets each bearing a second marking for causing it to be folded into a predetermined particular geometrical shape; folding the documents and inserting them into empty envelopes having a common format; folding the separator sheets; and ejecting closed envelopes and the separator sheets folded into the predetermined particular geometrical shape. On being ejected by the envelope-stuffing machine, the separator sheets are interposed automatically between the closed envelopes as a function of the batches to be prepared, and the predetermined particular geometrical shape resulting in the separator sheets projecting from the predetermined common format of the envelopes.

  • Publication number: 20110087365
    Abstract: In a mail-handling system comprising computer processing means associated with first print means so as to place at least one unique send number on an empty envelope and with second print means for printing at least one document, and an envelope-stuffing machine for inserting said at least one document into the empty envelope, said mail-handling system further comprises a signing set for writing, by means of a writing instrument, a recipient's address on each of the envelopes bearing said unique send number and delivered to the signing set. Said recipient's address is extracted from a database connected to the computer processing means and being indexed in the database with the unique send number borne by the envelope. The envelope-stuffing machine includes read and decode means for extracting the single send number borne on the empty envelope and for ensuring that it matches the document on the basis of the database.
