The Formax FD 282 Double-Head Edge Tabbing System introduces groundbreaking innovations in tabber design, revolutionizing the tabbing process. With the ability to apply tabs on opposite sides of the mail piece simultaneously or on the top and side concurrently, this system optimizes productivity and eliminates the need for multiple feeding passes. At the heart of the FD 282’s efficiency lies its unique combination of tabbing heads: a fixed head for tabbing along an open edge, and a repositionable head capable of switching between side and front (leading-edge) tabbing. Moreover, the flexible head can affix flat tabs, small labels, or up to 3 USPS roll stamps in a single pass.

The central control panel features a digital LCD display, complete with lifetime and job resettable counters, ensuring user-friendly setup and operation. Operators can conveniently program up to 4 jobs into memory, accommodating recurring tasks with varying media sizes, tab specifications, and tabbing positions. The FD 282 achieves impressive processing speeds of up to 25,000 pieces per hour for single tabbing, 15,000 pieces per hour for double tabbing, or 10,000 pieces per hour for triple tabbing, handling sizes up to 11” x 15” and up to 1/4” thick.

For enhanced flexibility, the FD 282 is available as a standalone unit, compatible with various feeders and output devices. Alternatively, it can be obtained as the FD 282SF with a Medium-Duty Synchronized Feeder or the FD 282HF with a Heavy-Duty Friction Feeder. Optional accessories include an output conveyor, as well as tabletop and floor stands.

Dependable and versatile, the FD 282 offers a robust solution to ensure your mailings remain compliant with evolving USPS tabbing regulations.
