Two-way mailers, catalog order form inserts, comment mailers and perforated reply cards.
A pre-mailer or glue bind mailer is a form that has the edges of the sheet glued together to form a pocket. Usually it has a tear off return panel that is mailed back in the envelope pocket, similar to a two-way mailer.
ECS can fold 3, 4 or 5 panels into a glued pocket with 1 or 2 perfs and a re-moisten gum strip all parallel with the folds. The piece can be double parallel or roll folded.
The minimum sheet width is 7″ and the maximum sheet length is 22″. If the sheet length is over 17-1/2″, then it must be at least 8-1/2″ wide.
Because of critical panel sizes necessary for accurate folding, it is recommended that ECS trim your press sheet to one-up. Critical folding register of pre-trimmed stock cannot be guaranteed. A $100.00 per hour cutting charge will apply.
The grain must run with the folds. Grain wrong setup is $100.00. An additional 5% may be added to the run charge for grain wrong stock.
The caliper of stock must be between .0045 and .0065. An additional 10% is added to the run charge for matte or gloss coated stock.
An over run for setup and waste is required. The minimum is 300 or 10%, whichever is greater of the finished count.
