Baumfolder Print/Fold/Barcode Verification/Document Insertion/Parallel to Conveyor

The Baumfolder Print/Fold/Barcode Verification/Document Insertion/Parallel to Conveyor system prints, folds, barcode-verifies, and inserts personalized documents into cartons. The transfer module rotates each document so the inserter runs parallel to the conveyor, which keeps the footprint compact on a crowded line. It is built for order fulfillment, e-commerce, and commercial printing operations.

Key features

• Commercial printer: high-speed black and white printing, with color optional, matched to the production rate.
• Folding system: half folds and signature folds.

• Inserting station: inserts documents into the top of cartons, with multi-level options for variable box sizes.

How to choose a Baumfolder print, fold and insert configuration

Match the configuration to your line on four points:

• Insertion path: parallel-to-conveyor (this system) vs stage-and-insert vs single-level insert.
• Verification: barcode verification for personalized, mixed runs (see the Century automated insertion and gather, fold and verify systems) vs simpler gather-and-insert where every carton is identical.
• Print stage: black and white vs optional color.
• Integration: the existing conveyor and carton line the system has to feed. A 3-fold insert and apply configuration fits fold-and-apply jobs.
