Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2617582A1] A sealed letter preparing apparatus 1 includes a printing unit 2 that performs printing on an envelope and an enclosure alternately, and an enclosing-sealing unit 3. The enclosing-sealing unit is configured to carry the printed envelope by the first carrier passage 10, carry the printed sheet as the enclosure by the second carrier passage 20, enclose the enclosure in the envelope by the envelope opening-enclosing means 60 at an intersection position of the both passages, and seal the envelope by a sealing means 70 so as to discharge the envelope into a discharge stocker 44. The sealed letter preparing apparatus has a simple and compact structure with less incidence of enclosing error, which is suitable for preparation of one-to-one direct mail.
