Formax FD 262 Single-Head Tabber

Formax FD 262 Single-Head Tabber

The Formax FD 262 Single-Head Tabber quickly applies tabs to folded mailpieces, and is designed to meet all USPS requirements for mailing and automation discounts. Using “crash tab” technology, the open edge of a mailpiece contacts an adhesive tab and travels through a set of rollers where the tab is tightly folded and sealed, creating a mail-ready piece.

The FD 262 tabs up to 12,000 pieces per hour (8 1/2” tri-folds) and handles media up to 17” wide, up to 5/32” thick. Its advanced design includes an integrated bottom feeder for continuous operation and a built-in waste take-up spool to reduce downtime. The user-friendly controls include a 5-digit resettable LCD counter and a tab sensitivity control to adjust for tab stock density.

Various tab stocks can be used, including translucent, paper, and clear in sizes up to 1 1/2” in diameter. To meet USPS requirements, the mailpiece can be fed through in different directions to apply tabs in various locations. The optional FD 282-30 3-foot Drop-Stacking Conveyor offers adjustable speed from 0 – 124 fpm and stacks tabbed pieces in neat, sequential order for easy removal.

With ever-changing postal regulations, having a dependable, efficient FD 262 Tabbing System can make your mailings compliant with very little effort.
