FD 262 Tabber
SINGLE-HEAD TABBING SYSTEM
The Formax FD 262 Single-Head Tabber makes quick work of applying 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 allowing for continuous operation, and a built-in waste take-up spool to reduce down
time. 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, (see below). The optional FD 282-30
3-foot Conveyor offers adjustable speed from 0 - 124 fpm, and stacks tabbed pieces in a neat, sequential order for easy removal.
With ever-changing postal regulations, having the dependable, efcient FD 262 can make your mailings compliant with very little effort.
