Frequently Asked Questions

Calculate the number of mailpieces that must be completed during the busiest shift and account for setup, loading, tab changes, and error correction. Rated speed may vary according to whether the machine applies one, two, or three tabs. Media size, thickness, fold quality, and feeder performance can also affect actual output. A high-volume tabber should provide enough capacity to finish regular jobs without operating at its maximum rating throughout every run. The available tabbing machines include equipment intended for different production levels, media formats, and tabbing requirements.

A single-head machine applies one tab during each pass and may suit mailpieces requiring one seal along an open edge. A double-head unit can apply two tabs in one pass, reducing the need to reposition or rerun the mailpiece. The correct setup depends on the mailpiece dimensions, fold style, open edges, and mailing requirements. Some designs may need tabs placed on opposite sides or at specific distances from the edge. Confirm the required tab pattern before ordering the machine. If several mail formats are produced, adjustable head positions and stored job settings can reduce setup time when switching between newsletters, brochures, folded notices, and other self-mailers.

A synchronised feeder can supply mailpieces at a consistent rate, helping the tabber maintain alignment and production speed. A heavy-duty feeder may be useful for larger stacks, thicker materials, or longer production runs. Feeding performance becomes especially important when folded pieces vary slightly in thickness or surface finish. Some Formax tabbing machines are available with different feeder arrangements, allowing the tabber and feeding method to be matched to the production environment. Consider media width, length, thickness, stack capacity, operator involvement, and the space required for the complete system.

Confirm the minimum and maximum mailpiece width, length, and thickness supported by the equipment. Also determine whether the tabber accepts folded brochures, newsletters, booklets, postcards, or other self-mailing formats used by the organisation. The material must feed consistently and remain flat enough for accurate tab placement. Glossy coatings, static, curl, uneven folds, and variable thickness can affect performance. Check whether the machine allows tab position, sensitivity, and head spacing to be adjusted. Testing representative mailpieces can reveal whether the feeder and sensors handle the actual stock reliably before the equipment is committed to regular production.

Tabs must match the machine’s roll dimensions, core, winding direction, tab size, material, and sensor requirements. Paper, clear, and translucent tabs may behave differently during feeding and detection. The required tab diameter or shape also depends on the mailpiece and mailing specifications. Do not assume that any roll with a similar appearance will fit the equipment. The available roll tabs for tabbing machines should be narrowed using the tabber model and manufacturer instructions. Keep enough rolls for planned jobs, but avoid excessive stock if adhesive products will remain stored for long periods under unsuitable temperature or humidity conditions.
