Customer Comments (Example from UK)
"We produce a quarterly mailing of 30,000 eight-page, A4 newsletters for one of our customers. With the new Royal Mail charges, it would have cost 44p per item in postage alone, which became a concern for the customer and raised doubts as to the cost-effectiveness of mailing in the existing A4 format. As the MKF-35 Knife Folder allows us to go from A4 to A5 format, we approached the customer to explain the postage charge, and asked if they would object to changing to a smaller A5 size,which also offered a reduction of around 12p per item on postage in the process. Naturally they were elated at the staggering overall cost saving of more than £10,000 per year, that we were able to pass onto them.Since integrating the knife folder in November 2006, we have not wasted time in putting the unit through its paces. In two weeks we put 30,000 Christmas cards through it, almost 40,000 newsletters and over 20,000 A3 folders. All told, in the month between its installation and our Christmas mailing deadline, it handled around 100,000 pieces."
