The Marathon16 inserter design and software enhancements deliver production speeds up to 16,000 envelopes per hour. Now considered one of the fastest multimedia inserters on the market, the Marathon16 inserting system offers high production output while processing a wide range of materials such as forms, booklets, brochures and CD-ROMs. And with the automated controls, job changeovers take minutes, not hours.

The Marathon16 inserter is ideal for organizations that process high-volume multimedia mailing jobs, such as insurance companies, telecommunications companies, financial organizations, banks, government agencies and large service bureaus. Additionally, the Marathon16 inserter can serve as a stand-alone inserter for direct mail applications involving heavy enclosures.

The Marathon16 inserter uses our BIPS automated setup capability. This provides the integrity and flexibility that document factories are demanding. Multiple sensors in every component control mailpiece integrity and ensure reliable item tracking.

With its secure document transport pocket design, 16,000 per hour cycle speed, and its wide array of enclosure feeding options, the Marathon16 inserter is one of the most robust, well-rounded inserting systems available.
