January 2023 New Year’s Greetings

Happy New Year.
We would like to thank you all, Pressio’s business partners and our customers, for the continuous support during 2022.
This year as always, our team will make constant and steady efforts to aim further product development, quality improvement, and service improvement. We would appreciate your continued support this year.

In 2022, though COVID19 was getting under control, we faced difficult situations around the world such as conflict in Ukraine, climate change, and rising prices.
However, on the other hand, the world is gradually returning to what is was pre-COVID, and many tourists around the world have begun to visit Japan and our popular touristic towns are starting to get back their crowds.

As for Pressio, overseas distributors and customers visited our factory and office and we were able to offer demonstrations of our products. Finally we are starting to operate and do activities like before.

We have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries about the new features that we have introduced since last year, such as “selective collating function” for the collating machine, and “IoT function” and “compatible to A4 size function” for the wrapping machine. We will continue to work on product development that would provide great benefits to each and every one of you.

Please stop by at our factory and other offices when you have a chance to visit Japan. We are confident that by seeing the actual product, you will be pleased with the high standard of our machines.

Regularly we introduce product features, case studies, etc. on “Useful Information” page on our website. Please take a moment to look at it.

Wrapping Machine – A4 Size Sample | Translucent Plastic Film Packaging

on April 11, 2022

Recently we have been receiving many inquiries regarding wrapping machine for A4 size samples. Today we uploaded a new blog article about it on Pressio website.
(A4 size is 25.7cm x 36.4cm, 8.27inch x 11.69inch)

The wrapping machine RV-iX(s) which is posted on our website is designed mostly for larger paper size (29.5cm x 40.5cm, 11.59inch x 15.91inch). Therefore when you try to wrap the common A4 size samples with our Pressio wrapping machine, there has been always a gap between the adhesive part of the film and the paper samples.

We’ve been receiving strong demands of wrapping machine for A4 size from companies which frequently use A4 size paper for instruction manuals, documents, etc.

Due to such circumstances, we strongly requested our development department, and we are delighted to release a wrapping machine compatible with A4 size.

For actual wrapped sample, please see the photo below.

wrapping image

Despite the fact it’s not totally an automatic process because you need to put the paper samples by hand, it can still wrap 60-70 samples per minute which allows you to wrap about 3,600-4,200 sets in an hour.

In addition, it can handle both thin and thick paper samples and doesn’t need any mechanical adjustment. All you have to do is insert the sample and it’s wrapped.
This allows anyone, including less experienced staff, to handle our wrapping machine without any issues.

Below is the link of YouTube which shows how the wrapping is done.

 

 

Currently we are receiving many inquiries regarding Pressio wrapping machine from the mail-order industry, logistics industry, and printing industry. Our wrapping machine could cover various kinds of samples including instruction manuals for home appliances, shared documents in the factory, confidential documents within the company, ads, etc.It is not suitable for thick items like dictionaries but it could wrap anything that is as thick as 20mm.

 

The cutting heater is the part that needs maintenance and is consumable. Since the plastic film is melted and adheres by heat, it is necessary to clean and replace the cutting edge on a regular basis. The timing of cleaning and replacement depends on the frequency and amount of wrapping being done.Some customers are worried about this maintenance procedures, but it is very easy to handle and no need worry.
There is also a video in English which shows the maintenance of our wrapping machine.

 

The Pressio wrapping machine is not too large in size which saves your work space and also it is easy to move because it has a stand with casters.
You can easily move and place the machine in the warehouse when not using it.
Also you can start using the machine in about 5 minutes after you press the power switch.

 

As you can see from the above photo of the sample, though it is translucent you can still see the content inside the wrapper.
We recommend the genuine film made by the manufacturer. It is only about 8μthick, but its durability is excellent that you cannot tear it easily when pulled by hand.

 

We have mentioned various features of our wrapping machine, and if you are interested by any means, feel free to contact us.

If you could send the paper samples to Pressio factory, we would conduct an experiment like the demonstration described here, and would send you the results with photos and videos.

Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Collating Machine | Case Study of Customer in the Logistics and Warehouse Industry

on March 7, 2022

Today let us introduce you a case study of a customer in the logistics and warehouse industry.

In fact this customer has been using our collating machine since spring of 2021, and this is the second installation.
All the employees are satisfied and say, “It is easy to use, the collating speed is fast, and there are very few errors.” We are grateful to hear these comments and how nice it is to know that our collating machine is contributing to people around the world.
We hope you can find the selling points of the Pressio collating machine by reading this article.

 


This customer is in charge of inventory management and delivery of a mail-order company for members. When sending products to members every month, they include information note, pamphlets, and leaflets of many different kinds.

They were packing these things manually until recently, but as the number of samples increased they decided to mechanize this operation from 2021.
Before using the collating machine, it took them 30 people for 6 hours to do the work manually, but now after the installation of the machine, 3 people can finish it in 3 hours.
Everyone is very much satisfied with the high efficiency.

Due to the confidentiality we cannot show all of the paper samples, but this customer uses mostly A5-A4 size paper folded in half or a small booklet.
*Please refer to the photo below.
As you can imagine, it is very difficult to collate folded paper samples and booklets with a conventional collating machine, but with the Pressio collating machine you can do it without any problem.

working space

One of the selling points of our collating machine is that it can handle booklets of different sizes and different number pages.

Also unlike other large line equipment, it is very easy to set up and adjust. It can be easily operated by students, females, and elderly people who are usually not familiar with machine. In fact, it was all female employees who operated at this customer’s office.

Below is the video that shows you how to collate the sample papers.

 

Due to the confidentiality of the customer, the types of samples that can be taken and introduced in the video are limited, but we collated 12 different types of leaflets on this day.

Pressio collating machine does not take up space because there are trays on the back side as well.
Also the multi-tray function of our collating machine allows you to set same paper samples on 2-3 trays. Therefore when one tray is empty, it automatically feeds the sample from the next tray. With this multi-tray function you do not need to stand beside the machine all the time watching, instead you could leave and work on other tasks

 

In addition, there are various functions such as selection collating function.
Please refer to the product introduction page for more details.

If you could send the paper samples to Pressio factory, we would conduct an experiment like the demonstration described here, and would send you the results with photos and videos.
Please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

We look forward to hearing from you

Wrapping Machine | Demonstration for Mail Order Company

on February 7, 2021

Today we would like to introduce a demonstration of wrapping machine for a mail order company that was held some days ago.

For many years, this mail order company has been collating advertisements and leaflets of its products and wrapping them manually with commercial film envelopes. However, considering the current situation with Covid-19, world pandemic, this company has decided to mechanize the packaging work in order to avoid the crowdedness of the work environment.

Below is the photo of the paper samples brought to us and demonstrated on the Pressio wrapping machine.

< Information of the samples >

– The majority of the samples are A4 size (210mm x 297mm).
– The largest size of the sample is B4 size (257mm x 364mm).
– There are five different types of leaflets and two types of catalogs.

 

< Wrapping conditions >

– The majority of the samples are A4 size (210mm x 297mm).
– The largest size of the sample is B4 size (257mm x 364mm).
– There are five different types of leaflets and two types of catalogs.

 

This mail order company collates the advertisements and wraps them with plastic film, and then sends the product with the ads to the customers.
Since the ads are wrapped in film, they don’t get messed up in the shipping box. Also, customers could take a look at the ads easily and quickly because the top part of the film is kept unsealed.

As you can see from the above photo, the plastic films are translucent, but there seems to be no trouble for customers to check the inside.

 

Now, please take a look at the video below for how to Pressio wrapping machine.

Collating machine – Demonstration delivered to a mail order company

on January 17, 2022

Today we would like to introduce a demonstration of a collating machine for a mail order company that was held some days ago.
Both the mail order company and the logistics company, who is contracted and runs the collating work, came to Pressio office with their actual ads.

These two companies pack together some related ads and catalogs with purchased products and send them to the customers. By doing so, they could promote cross-selling and customers may buy products related to the ones they’ve purchased.
Previously, leaflets and ads were just simple ones, but recently you see more of them folded in three and even catalogs are popular to make them more eye-catching.
Under such trend changes, there are more ads that could not be collated by the conventional collating machine and as a result, we find more companies interested to Pressio collating machine.

 


Also, the recent advertising trend in the mail order industry is “selecting leaflets according to each customer attribute.”
A mail order company, who manages attribute information of the customers, is achieving a higher cross-selling effect by selecting the ads to be bundled by “customers” instead of selecting them by product.
Pressio collating machine can also be equipped with such a “function to collate ads while selecting them based on the content preset by the advertiser” as an optional features.
Click this link for the blog that introduces the details.

Newly equipped with a collation program function that allows to select the leaflets for each customer attribute.

 

Let’s get back to the topic.
Below is the photo of the paper samples brought to us and demonstrated on the Pressio collating machine.

Photo of sample items

 

< Information of the samples >

-There are 5 different types of samples: catalogs, leaflets, postcards, invoices, and delivery notes for mail order.
-The two types of catalogs are each 8-page catalog and 12-page catalog.
-The majority of the samples are A4 size (210mm x 297mm) and postcards are A5 size (148mm x 210mm) .
-The invoice and delivery note are folded in half and they are used to wrap the other ads, meaning they serve as “folding paper.”
-Can collate about 1,500 to 2,000 sets per hour on average.

 

< Machine used for demonstration >

-2500TZ-SC
-Collating speed performance is about 6,000 sets per hour.

 

< Results >

-Successful
-No paper jams, double feeding, or scratches on the sample surface.

 

We will show you the video of the demonstration which we recorded.
Due to customer’s request, it is collating and lifting up in units of 10 sets.
As you can see on the video, it is very time efficient because the machine does not stop and continues to operate while it is lifting up the sets.

 

For this demonstration, we’ve used the stand-alone machine. But we could always integrate Pressio collating machine to your existing large machinery line.
(Can control the ON/OFF of collating operation by the instruction sent from the host system that controls the existing large line.)
Therefore you can install and use effectively Pressio collating machine even when you want to add the collating function to your existing machinery line.

Case Studies of Collating Machine for Mail Order Industry

on October 27, 2021

Pressio collating machines are useful in the mail order, delivery and logistics industries.

If a leaflet or catalog is included in a mail order box, many consumers will pay attention to it and read it. From a marketing perspective, it is a very effective cross-selling measure.
Mail order companies can utilize Pressio collating machines for their cross-selling strategies, at the same time, delivery and logistics companies can propose and utilize it to the mail order company as a new service.

 


< Conventional situation >

Nowadays, many consumers frequently use mail order for their shopping, but at the same time, with so many online shops and too many product lines, consumers often miss other products related to the ones they buy.
In other words, in many cases, mail order and online shops are not able to cross-sell effectively.

Conventional situation

 

 


< If you use Pressio machine >

Delivery companies and logistics companies could combine all advertisements, such as flyers, leaflets, and catalogs, into one set with Pressio collating machine, bundle it with the purchased item, and deliver it to consumer.
By doing so, the delivery and logistics companies could propose this bundle service to mail order companies as a new promotion to encourage cross-selling.

Case Studies of Wrapping Machine | Utilize Wrapping Machine for In-House Mail for Confidential Documents

on September 27, 2021

In banks, schools, and even government agencies Pressio wrapping machines are useful for sending confidential documents by in-house mail.

If someone opens the envelopes wrapped with plastic film by Pressio wrapping machine, the plastic is torn and cannot be rewrapped. This means it is obvious if someone tries to open the in-house mail during its delivery.
Therefore you will be able to send confidential documents by in-house mail without having to worry about someone else opening and seeing them.

Also plastic films are less expensive than paper envelopes.

 


< Conventional situation >

Usually there are number of confidential documents in banks, schools, and government agencies and those documents are sent by envelopes with tightly sealed sticker so that they cannot be open by someone else.
Once the seal is opened, this kind of envelop cannot be resealed, therefore the recipient will notice if the envelop is opened or not.

These kind of envelopes with a tight seal have a high security level but they are expensive and it takes time to seal manually.

conventional situation

Many companies use the special envelopes shown above for the confidential documents, but it is not cost effective and takes time to seal and unseal.

 


< If you use Pressio machine >

If the department which sends confidential documents starts using Pressio wrapping machine, employees can wrap the documents quickly and easily allowing them to focus on more important roles. Also by switching to plastic film from paper envelopes, you can reduce costs.

If someone else or a staff from other department opens the plastic film, it is very obvious and the recipient will notice it.
