ColorGraphics Expands Mailing Capabilities

In June 2011, ColorGraphics Inc., a Cenveo company, added a Gunther Series III intelligent inserting line to complement their expanding commercial mailing capabilities. This new system offers in-line folding, four-way match mailing capability, selective envelope inserting, in-line metering, and high-resolution ink jet capabilities.
The addition of the Series III inserting line serves as a complement to other production systems the company has relocated to Seattle from its sister plants to address the particular production needs of the healthcare and insurance markets, while the versatility of the system fits the production needs of the company’s other clientele. The Gunther line offers fast, reliable production throughput and serves as a strong link between Cenveo’s commercial print and envelope manufacturing capabilities.
The company chose Gunther due to Gunther’s reputation in high-integrity production workflows and experience in managing critical communication, offering 100 percent package content integrity.
“We need to prove the accuracy of mailing of each individual page within an envelope,” says Dion Wilhelm, Cenveo’s Regional Director of Mail & Fulfillment Services, “and this system does that by providing a process and reports that comply with HIPAA and information security regulations.”
The equipment reads and collects information from a variety of barcode formats for integrity and machine control, making it flexible as well as efficient. The in-line folding and accumulating system will fold documents of varying page lengths and insert them into a #10 or 6 x 9½ envelope, while processing the collected barcode information through three on-board networked computer systems to monitor, process, and control the information flow throughout the inserting process.
ColorGraphics, one of the Seattle area’s largest commercial print companies, was acquired by Cenveo in 2007 and has since merged Cenveo’s mailing capabilities into its Seattle operation.  The company is known for high-end commercial print and mail production and became ISO 9001:2008 certified in February of 2011. As an extension of this drive toward quality and accuracy, the addition of this new inserting line adds the production capacity and integrity to keep pace with the company’s quality-conscious clientele.
