Patra’s print shop is a highly automated facility that prints and mails over fifteen million insurance documents per year. With minimal staff, our automation processes small to large custom print jobs created around the globe and prepares them with the most efficient delivery method in the industry.
The process begins with our software, which gathers the print jobs, reads the recipient’s address, and combines like addresses together to reduce multiple mailings.
Cover pages are created for each windowed envelope, which contains the recipient’s address, as well as page counts for the inserted machine. Batch print jobs are sent to multiple printers via remote employees. Once the batches have finished printing, they are quickly reviewed for quality and then loaded into a high speed inserter machine.
The inserter reads the cover page for each envelope to determine the number of pages to be collated and the envelope size needed.
In then correlates and inserts each mailing into the appropriate envelope.
The inserter then seals and stacks the envelopes neatly for the attendant to gather.
The envelopes are already pre stamped with a prepaid sort stamp that eliminates the need for a postage meter.
Afterwards, all outgoing mail is placed into bins to await pickup and distribution.
