We were asked by a leading global logistics company to help them solve issues they were having with their separator cards for mailing machines. They were looking for a robust card that wouldn’t be damaged by the rubber belts feeding the mail, but the material had to be flexible. After meeting with the customer, and seeing their current processes, we suggested a durable plastic material, and a suitable over-laminated bar code label adhered to one side.
With the customers agreement we developed a separator card custom-made to their specific needs. The card had to have a label which triggered the magnet and allowed the computer to read the bar code. We developed artwork for a specific bar code label to suit their requirements. This label was then stuck onto our plastic material, using an aggressive adhesive, and over-laminated to protect it long-term. The separator cards were trialled, and worked very well on the customer’s high speed sorting lines.
