Details & specifications
The Formax FD 1406 is a low-volume desktop AutoSeal pressure sealer for processing one-piece pressure-seal self-mailers, the kind used for checks, notices, and statements that fold and seal in a single pass. It runs up to 73 forms per minute and drives the fold and seal from a touchscreen, so an operator sets the form and the machine handles the rest. Mid-State Litho is an authorized Formax dealer and has sold and serviced mailroom finishing equipment from Grand Blanc, Michigan since 1984. We deliver the FD 1406, install it, train your operators, and back it with same-day and next-day service across Michigan and the Great Lakes. It ships by truck freight FOB with a lift gate and carries a 90-day factory depot warranty.

How to choose a pressure sealer
- Volume. The FD 1406 is a low-volume desktop unit, up to 73 forms per minute. Match the machine to your monthly form count; higher volumes move up the Formax AutoSeal range.
- Form type. Confirm your forms are one-piece pressure-seal self-mailers in a length the machine accepts. Pressure-seal forms and standard fold-and-insert mail are different workflows.
- Control and operator skill. The FD 1406 uses a touchscreen, which shortens operator setup versus dial-only machines.
For lighter volume, the Formax FD 1202 runs up to 38 forms per minute; step up to the FD 1406 when you need roughly double the throughput.
