About Paitec and MBM
The ES 8500 is manufactured by Paitec and distributed under the MBM name. It is a tabletop pressure sealer for pressure-seal forms, the one-piece mailers used for checks, invoices, and notices. Mid-State Litho is an authorized dealer and installs and services the Paitec ES line. Browse the full range of pressure sealers.
Choosing among Paitec ES pressure sealers
The Paitec ES line steps up by volume. The ES 2500 fits low-volume mailrooms, the ES 5500 handles mid-volume work, and the ES 8500 is the high-volume model at up to 9,000 forms per hour and 130,000 per month. If you also need integrity or inserting features rather than straight pressure sealing, compare the IM 8500. For a desktop footprint, look at the MX17000, and for a Formax AutoSeal alternative see the FD 2200-10. Size the machine to your monthly form count and your peak day, not the average.
