A New 6 Station High Speed Inserting System Has Been Purchased
A Mailcrafter (Edge Series) 9800-6PM allowing us to insert 6 pieces into an envelope at speeds up to 10,000 finished pieces per hour.
Along with the inserter, we have installed vision technology…a PROXLight camera system which will enable us to run 100 percent match mailings through the barcode system. The precision and speed of the machine helps us insure accuracy and provide cost savings to our clients. The PROXLight camera system effectively is a “set of eyes” that allows mail inserters to read material in single or multiple locations as inserts and envelopes flow through the inserting process, automatically recognizing when problems occur.
Specifications:
Maximum Envelope size: 6-1/2 x 9-1/2
Minimum Envelope size: 3-1/2 x 5-1/2
Maximum size of piece to insert: 6 x 9
Minimum size of piece to insert: 2-1/2 x 3-1/2
Maximum thickness of piece to insert: 1/4"
Envelope Flap depth: 2-3/8 maximum (depending on flap construction)

Tucker-Castleberry Printing Re-brands Itself ( A letter from Tuck Tucker)
This 2014 calendar marks a new beginning for Tucker-Castleberry Printing, Inc. We have spent many months working on re-branding ourselves. I am excited to say that day is finally here. While many of you know of all the new services we have added over the last several years, some of you still may still think of us as a “commercial printer”.
And we still are that great commercial printer that you have always known, but now we are “more than just a printer”. We have even dropped the name “Printing” from our name. We are now Tucker Castleberry.
We have also taken our other companies, Tucker Mailing & Distribution, Tucker Connect and Total Communications and will now operate them under our new name of Tucker Castleberry.
Other than being a commercial printer since 1949, what other services do we have in house to offer you:
• Mailing & Distribution • Multi-channel marketing campaign with ROI Tracking
• Fulfillment & kit packing • Online Storefronts
• Digital & variable data printing • List acquisition
• Envelope printing…full color • Data management
• Creative & Design • Data augmentation
• Web design & creation • Large format printing
• Direct mail & email campaigns
So as you can see, we have truly added a number of valuable services over the years. This transition was not only necessary for our continued growth, but it was imperative to continue to serve our customers. Our customers demand more now and we have listened to them…we can now provide all the services you need.
I hope 2014 is happy and prosperous for you and I look forward to our continued relationship as we move forward.
Thank you.
Tuck Tucker
President
