Form Dimensions
Different pressure
seal machines have different printing capacities. Low-volume desktop
models, for example, may not be able to process forms larger than 14”, while
high-volume floor models can process forms up to 25” long.
Knowing the
specs of your machine will save you a lot of time by letting you eliminate
any form sizes that won’t work with your existing equipment.
Form Fold Types
Similarly,
different pressure seal machines will have different folding abilities. Knowing the
types of folds your machine is capable of processing is essential to the design
and planning phase, too.
Simplex Printer
If you’re using
simplex printing, your form options are slightly more limited than those with
duplex printing capabilities. Still, there are dozens of choices and solutions
to accommodate your needs. Here are some considerations for choosing a pressure
seal form for a simplex printer:
In the popular
8 ½” x 11” Z-fold format, simplex printing means you will lose one panel to the
address that will appear on the flap. If you need to add additional information
to your form, consider using a C-fold format with a window.
Duplex Printer
The C-fold and
V-fold are designed to be duplex printed so that you have the full
face available for your messaging, whether it’s an invoice or statement, a
newsletter, or a general information sheet. Here are some considerations
for choosing a form for a duplex printer:
The non-window
C-fold format will place your detail on the two panels above your check,
allowing you to maximize the messaging real estate. If you need even more
room, the 14” lengths in Z-folds and uneven Z-folds are common stock check
forms with a good amount of useable space.
