FUNCTION

With the Formax FD 2052IL AutoSeal System operators can print, fold and seal all in one streamlined process.
One-piece pressure sensitive forms are loaded into an existing laser printer where they’re printed and fed directly
into the IL Pressure Sealer where they’re folded, sealed and output as a mail-ready piece.
