Mailstream is a new fully automated direct mail finishing system from Rollem International that converts press sheets into finished direct mail products. The system allows the user to process multiple-up mail pieces and perform numerous functions in one pass.
Even though I didn’t get the opportunity to visit all of the finishing system exhibitors at GRAPH EXPO 2012, I did see enough to form some opinions on current trends and developments in the industry. While digital printing was once again the central focus of the show floor, finishing remains key in creating quality, exciting products across the board.
Direct mail isn't going away. Even your sub-par direct mail piece gets much more attention than the best Web ads. And well-targeted, intelligently personalized pieces do really well. Amazingly, a majority of direct mail still consists of your plain-vanilla envelope.

MINNEAPOLIS— October 13, 2008—Buhrs Americas, the North American subsidiary of the leading international provider of mailing solutions, will showcase a new, higher speed version of its popular BB700 Inserter at Graph Expo in booth 1859. The new inserter—first seen at drupa and new to the North American market—is rated at 16,000 pieces per hour—a 2,000 piece-per-hour increase over what was already the fastest multiformat inserter on the market. Key to the popularity of the Buhrs BB700 Envelope Inserter is its format flexibility. Some machines are rated at high speeds, but can only accommodate a particular envelope format or size. The Buhrs BB700, on the other hand, operates at rated speed over the widest range of envelope sizes in the industry.
