Abstract: A mail piece processing system for applying a printed linerless label to an object, such as a mail piece, includes a printer for printing information on the label material; an unwind assembly for feeding the label material to the printer; a label applicator for cutting a label from the printed linerless label material and applying the label to a mail piece; and, a controller coupled to the label applicator for controlling operation of the label applicator and coupled to the printer for controlling the operation of the printer. The labels contain a repositionable adhesive such that the labels are repositionable labels that can re removed from and re-applied to objects.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a continuous flow transfer system designed to transfer the contents of a mail tray into a cartridge for subsequent processing and then, after processing, to transfer the contents of the cartridge back into a mail tray without disrupting the facing or orientation of each piece of mail. The continuous flow transfer system comprises both a cartridge loader and a cartridge unloader, both of which have a tray section, a transfer conveyor and a cartridge section. The tray section, or infeed section, of the cartridge loader is designed to deliver filled mail trays to the transfer section of the loader. At the transfer section, the contents of each mail tray are deposited into an intermediate container that is affixed to the transfer section. The transfer section then delivers the contents of the intermediate container into empty cartridges being fed onto the cartridge section, or discharge section, of the loader.
