Mailing/Fulfillment - Hardware

As a 107-year-old commercial print and direct mail production company, Japs-Olson Co. continues to invest in the future of print.

Expanding its capacity, Data-Mail has added a fourth and fifth Pitney Bowes MailStream Directs from MCS Inc.

Muller Martini announced its new automated inserter, MailLiner, which is designed for greater efficiency and lower cost.

In a new agreement, Barry-Wehmiller Cos. will acquire the operations of Winkler+Dünnebier GmbH, including POEM (W+D).

Screen and Sensible Technologies have partnered to offer a total print, integration and service solution for mail production.

Fenske Media’s Dave Fenske, along with his three brothers, operates the largely direct mail specialty operation.

A new MCS Perfect Match System has been installed at Linemark Printing in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The company, which is celebrating 30 years this year, will be able to increase integrity, personalization and productivity for its clients' match mailing campaigns with this purchase.

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Japs-Olson of Minneapolis—a printer that can trace its roots all the way back to 1907! Japs-Olson embodies the lean manufacturing approach to today's direct mail. What I saw was a "holistic" integrated process. Japs-Olson is capable of sending more than four million pieces a day into the USPS mail stream. To do this efficiently, you need critical thinking to be applied at every stage of the process.

At Hunkeler Innovationdays 2015 which opened today in Lucerne, Switzerland, Pitney Bowes unveiled its new Epic Inserting System.

Many years of attending GRAPH EXPO have taught me that like the great markets of the Middle East and Asia, sometimes treasures are hidden away in the back of the halls. So I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across the Gunther Technologies stand.
