Collectively the three Precisionpac systems can produce up to 18,000 copies per hour. The giant machines are more than 100 feet in length.

It then moves to a quality control station where postal sortation information is verified.
As products reach the sealing station, the polywrap (either standard or customized) is applied.
Less than a second later, the sealed package has an inkjet address label applied.
Finally, the products are skidded for distribution either through the USPS or common carrier.
