What is Pressure Seal |
A Pressure Seal Form is a one-piece form which, after being printed on, can be folded and sealed to create a secure document, ready for posting or distribution. There is no need for separate envelopes, and the forms can be pre-printed with a postage paid impression, eliminating the need for franking or applying stamps. |
| How does it work |
Pressure Seal forms have glue on specific areas of the form. The glue is unaffected by heat or moisture, so is able to pass through a laser printer without leaving any residue. When the printed forms are fed into a pressure sealing machine, they are folded and the glued areas are aligned against each other, before passing through the sealing rollers, which apply extremely high pressure to create a secure seal.
The sealed documents are opened by means of tear perforations, and they are tamper-evident – if the form is peeled apart, then a paper tear will occur and it cannot be re-sealed. Pressure Seal glue does have a limited shelf life, so we advise customers to order a maximum of 18 months supply at a time.
The most common type of pressure seal form is the A4 Z fold, but other fold types are available to suit various requirements, and these are described below: |
|
|
|
Z Fold
The form is folded into three in the shape of a Z giving six panels in total.
(This is the most popular format for payslips).
C Fold
Again the form is folded into three, but in the shape of a C.
V Fold
The form is folded in half, giving four panels, two of which can be concealed. This allows almost a full page for personalised information. |

| What can it be used for? |
|
The Pressure Seal system is ideal for many applications, the most popular being payslips and P60s. However, other uses include the following:
* Cheques / Remittance advices
* Invoices
* Statements
* Purchase orders
* Library overdue notices
* Housing Association tenant communications
* Membership cards
* General letters
* Expense forms
Forms can be personalised to incorporate company colours and logo if required, or a completely bespoke form can be designed. |

We currently use a dot matrix system
what are the advantages of changing to pressure seal? |
|
* Speeds up document processing.
* Eliminates the tedious work of decollating and splitting continuous stationery and/or stuffing envelopes.
* Lower stationery costs.
* Sealed documents are letter size; lower postage costs.
* The printed information will not fade over time.
* Uses less paper; better for the environment.
We would be more than happy to demonstrate how pressure seal technology can provide an effective mass mailing solution for you. |
