Problems solved by technology

However, if it is desired to change the contents of the insert, for example to change the terms and regulations insert which may differ from state to state, then the insert mechanism must be closed and the correct insert inserted
This results in downtime of the system which reduces throughput (i.e. the number of envelopes ready to be mailed with inserted forms and inserts)

Abstract

Systems, mechanisms and methods are described relating to the production of one or more custom printed inserts to be inserted into an envelope with a personalized card / carrier combination for mailing to the intended holder of the personalized card The custom printed insert can be custom printed before cardholders. Inserts are custom printed using an insert printer located in an insert mechanism that inserts one or more inserts and card / carrier combination into an envelope for mailing to the end user of the card. The inserter mechanism can be of "off-line" configuration, ie configured as a stand-alone mechanism, or configured for "in-line" use, ie used with other mechanisms.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical content disclosed herein relates to personal plastic cards, such as financial cards including credit and debit cards, identification cards, driver's licenses, and other personal plastic cards issued in mailing envelopes to end users. Background technique [0002] It is known to issue personal plastic cards to end users by mailing the card to the end user in an envelope. The card is usually affixed to a form that is mechanically folded in an inserter mechanism and inserted into the mailing envelope. Additionally, one or more inserts including, but not limited to, promotional inserts, advertising inserts, terms and contract inserts, etc. may also be inserted into the envelope in the insert mechanism along with the folded form carrying one or more cards middle. [0003] Currently, inserts are pre-printed and loaded into the insert mechanism. There may be separate hoppers in the insert mechanism for different types of inserts. However, if...
