Postmatic stamp affixers

The 6000SA and 7000SA are Postmatic's stamp affixer heads. They work with any Postmatic Inline Stamping Base, in line with inserters, inkjet systems and labelers, or as a stand-alone system. Postmatic's vacuum wheel applicator does away with rewinding stamp coils before running them in line, and with the extra cost of putting stamps on with a tabber.

The heads take 3,000- or 10,000-stamp coils and apply more than 18,000 stamps an hour, which keeps up with most high-speed inserters. Coils load and unload quickly, so the operator spends less time tending the machine. Postmatic has built stamp affixers since 1972.

Postmatic Inline Stamping Bases are built for 24/7 operation. They run in line with inserters, inkjets and tabbers, or stand-alone with a feeder for off-line stamp affixing. Models cover single stamping, stamping and printing, and dual stamping, where two affixer heads share one line to cut the downtime of changing coils.

The 16-inch Standard base takes a 6000SA or 7000SA head and runs at 240 or 330 feet a minute. The 36-inch Extended base leaves room for an inkjet, labeler or camera, so the piece can be stamped and printed in one pass, and the PrintOne Stamping Base adds an inkjet head that prints a Mailers' Precancelled Permit as the stamp goes on. Postmatic also sells complete systems with the head, vacuum pump and an adjustable stand, including a stand-alone version with its own feeder and catch tray.
