Formax 260 Tabber

The Formax FD 260 Tabbing System makes quick work of applying postal tabs to folded mailpieces. Using “crash tab” technology, the edge of the mailpiece is fed into the FD 260 where it contacts an adhesive tab and travels through a set of rollers where the tab is tightly folded and sealed, creating a mail-ready piece. With postal regulations changing, having a dependable and efficient tabber can make your mailings compliant with very little effort.

The FD 260 provides a short paper path with no need for skewing adjustment, and high productivity because the short edge of the document feeds through the machine, increasing production rates at any given speed. Accuracy is also key, as the tabs fold tight to the edge of the piece, without drifting from left to right. The FD 260 tabs up to 15,000 pieces per hour, using a variety of tab stocks including clear, translucent and paper, in both 1” and 1.5” sizes, with a built-in waste take-up spool to reduce down time. Depending on document specifications, the mailpiece can be fed through in different directions, to apply tabs in various locations.

With the addition of the optional FD 260-10 Feeder, operators can input a stack of up to 8” of material to be tabbed. Adjustable side guides prevent document skewing. The optional FD 260-20 Conveyor offers adjustable speed from 0 - 120 fpm, and stacks tabbed pieces in a neat, sequential order for easy removal. The optional FD 260-30 Catch Tray provides a low-volume alternative to the conveyor, for smaller jobs.
