Flats Sealer

The Flats Sealer add-on module attaches to the exit end of the base module 

to allow for the sealing of flat envelopes. The Flats Sealer can seal flat enve-

lopes up to 0.25" (6.5 mm) in thickness.
In the Moistener, Closer, Sealer module, brushes sweep across the flat 

envelope flap to wet the glued area of the flap. The Flats Sealer closes the 

flap, seals the envelope, and sends it on to the next module downstream. 

While the Flats Sealer is designed specifically to seal flat envelopes, it has 

an exit path for (sealed) letter envelopes exiting the Moistener, Sealer, Clos-

er module.
