Whether you're processing hundreds or hundreds of thousands of mailpieces per month, we have the right addressing solution for your Salisbury, Easton, or Dover operation.
Modern address printers do far more than simply print recipient addresses. These intelligent automation systems apply USPS-compliant Intelligent Mail barcodes (IMb), return addresses, bulk mail permits, and even full-color graphics to envelopes, flats, packages, and specialty materials. By automating address application and barcode printing, businesses across Delmarva can qualify for deeper postal discounts while eliminating manual addressing errors that cause undeliverable mail and wasted postage.
Quadient Address Printer Solutions
Mail Movers offers the complete range of Quadient addressing systems, from compact monochrome printers for small mailrooms to high-speed color digital systems for commercial print operations. Each system is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing folder inserters and postage meters, creating an efficient end-to-end mailing workflow that saves time and reduces labor costs.
Monochrome Address Printers (AS Series)
The Quadient AS Series represents the workhorse category of addressing systems, delivering reliable monochrome printing for addresses, barcodes, and permit indicia. The AS-450 offers entry-level performance at speeds up to 22,000 envelopes per hour, with a convenient 500-envelope capacity feeder and intuitive touch screen interface. This compact system handles materials up to 1/4" thick, making it ideal for standard envelope addressing in small to mid-sized Delmarva businesses.
For operations requiring greater versatility, the AS-650 provides the perfect balance of speed, print quality, and material handling capability. This heavy-duty system features advanced print quality controls and can handle virtually any material thickness or surface texture. The touch screen interface offers powerful features that professional mailers appreciate, including custom job storage and barcode verification.
At the top of the monochrome line, the AS-850 leads the industry with 4 inches of print area and a sophisticated 2+4+2 head configuration. Its AccuTrak™ transport deck allows precise positioning of transport belts and guides for perfect registration on every mailpiece. When paired with the optional AS-FDR14 high-capacity feeder, the AS-850 can process the largest mailings with consistent quality. The system's EASYInks technology ensures excellent print quality on everything from glossy coated stock to rough kraft envelopes.
Color Digital Printers (MACH Series)
When your direct mail campaigns demand attention-grabbing color, the Quadient MACH Series delivers stunning full-color printing that transforms ordinary envelopes into marketing powerhouses. The MACH 5 was the world's first printer to leverage patented Memjet® technology for direct mail applications, offering extremely low total cost of ownership while producing vibrant, high-resolution images on envelopes, stationery, wedding invitations, and special event materials.
The MACH 6 extends Memjet® technology beyond paper products, printing on various materials up to 3/8" thick including packaging materials, folding cartons, and specialty substrates. This versatility makes it ideal for businesses that need both traditional mailing and product packaging capabilities in a single system.
For mid-volume commercial operations processing 50,000 or more envelopes monthly, the MACH 7 represents the most flexible tabletop envelope printer available today. Leveraging advanced HP Thermal Inkjet 4.0 Technology, the MACH 7 produces vibrant, full-color images with pigment-based, durable ink that resists fading, scratching, and water damage. It effortlessly handles materials up to 1/2" thick and prints on 10" x 13" flats, chipboard, corrugated cardboard, and folding cartons, delivering full-bleed printing quality that no toner-based system can match.
At the production level, the MACH 9DS serves as the ultimate full-color dynamic envelope printing solution for high-volume mailers. This system creates brilliant, personalized envelopes that make customers take notice, with seamless integration capabilities with Quadient's DS-700 iQ folder inserter for efficient, secure production workflows. The MACH 9DS is ideal for financial institutions, healthcare providers, and large-scale direct mail operations across the Delmarva region.
Key Benefits of Professional Address Printers
Investing in a professional addressing system delivers immediate and ongoing benefits that quickly justify the investment. Postal savings represent the most significant advantage—by printing USPS-compliant Intelligent Mail barcodes and properly formatted addresses, businesses qualify for automation discounts that can reduce postage costs by 3-5 cents per piece. For a business mailing 10,000 pieces monthly, that translates to $3,600-$6,000 in annual savings.
Labor efficiency improvements are equally compelling. Manual addressing or applying printed labels requires significant staff time and introduces opportunities for errors. An automated address printer processes thousands of pieces per hour with perfect accuracy, freeing staff for higher-value activities. Many Salisbury and Easton businesses report reducing their mail prep time by 60-75% after implementing professional addressing systems.
Quality and consistency matter in direct mail marketing. Professional address printers produce crisp, readable addresses and barcodes that ensure deliverability while projecting a polished, professional image. Color digital systems take this further by enabling full-color envelope printing that increases open rates by 20-30% compared to plain envelopes, according to direct mail industry research.
The flexibility of modern addressing systems allows businesses to handle diverse mailing needs with a single piece of equipment. From standard #10 envelopes to oversized flats, postcards, and even packages, these systems adapt to whatever your Delmarva operation needs to mail. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple specialized devices and simplifies equipment maintenance.
Integration with Your Mailing Workflow
Address printers deliver maximum value when integrated into a complete mailing system. Mail Movers designs comprehensive solutions that connect your addressing system with folder inserters, postage meters, and mail preparation software. This integration enables true lights-out processing where mailpieces flow automatically from printing through folding, inserting, addressing, metering, and sorting without manual intervention.
For businesses using USPS Full-Service mailings, address printers play a critical role in generating the required Intelligent Mail barcodes and electronic documentation. Our systems can interface directly with USPS Mail.dat and PostalOne! systems, ensuring compliance while maximizing postal discounts. We help Delmarva businesses navigate the complex requirements of Full-Service mailings to capture every available discount.
Tabbing Systems for Self-Mailers
In addition to address printers, Mail Movers provides Quadient tabbing systems that apply wafer seals to self-mailer pieces, catalogs, and booklets. The TA-25 represents the most technically advanced tabletop tabbing system available, capable of simultaneously applying tabs to both the side and leading edge of mailpieces at speeds up to 25,000 single tabs per hour or 15,000 double tabs per hour.
Tabbing systems are essential for businesses that produce folded self-mailers, as USPS regulations require proper sealing to qualify for automation rates. The TA-25's precision placement ensures tabs are applied exactly where needed for postal compliance while maintaining production speeds that keep pace with your printing and folding equipment. For Delmarva businesses producing newsletters, catalogs, or marketing pieces, a tabbing system is often the missing link that enables significant postage savings.

Choosing the Right Addressing System
Selecting the appropriate address printer depends on several factors including mail volume, material types, color requirements, and integration needs. A small business mailing 5,000-10,000 pieces monthly may find the AS-450 monochrome printer perfectly adequate, while a commercial printer or large corporate mailroom processing 100,000+ pieces requires the speed and capacity of an AS-850 or MACH 9DS system.
Color capability represents another key decision point. While monochrome systems cost less initially and have lower operating costs, color digital printers can dramatically improve direct mail response rates and enable new revenue opportunities for commercial printers. Many Delmarva businesses find that the increased response rates from color envelope printing more than justify the additional investment.
Material handling requirements also influence system selection. If you primarily mail standard envelopes, most systems will suffice. However, if your operation includes thick catalogs, corrugated packaging, or specialty materials, you'll need systems like the MACH 6 or MACH 7 that can handle materials up to 3/8" or 1/2" thick.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Intelligent Mail barcode and why do I need it?
The Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb) is a USPS-required barcode that encodes delivery address, mailer identification, and mailpiece tracking information. Printing IMb barcodes on your mail qualifies you for automation discounts of 3-5 cents per piece. Address printers automatically generate and print these barcodes in the correct format and position, ensuring postal compliance and maximum savings for Delmarva businesses.
Can address printers handle different envelope sizes?
Yes, professional address printers accommodate a wide range of envelope sizes from standard #10 business envelopes to large 10" x 13" flats and catalogs. Most systems include adjustable guides and feeders that adapt to different sizes. The specific range varies by model—contact Mail Movers to discuss your particular envelope requirements for your Salisbury or Dover operation.
How fast are address printers compared to manual addressing?
Address printer speeds range from 15,000 to over 30,000 pieces per hour depending on the model, compared to perhaps 100-200 pieces per hour for manual addressing or label application. This represents a 100-150x speed improvement, allowing businesses to complete in one hour what previously required several days of manual labor.
Do I need special software to use an address printer?
Most address printers include basic software for importing address lists and designing print layouts. For more sophisticated applications like database integration, variable data printing, or USPS Full-Service documentation, additional software may be beneficial. Mail Movers can recommend and configure the appropriate software solution for your specific needs and help integrate it with your existing systems.
What maintenance do address printers require?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning print heads, replacing ink cartridges or ribbons, and periodic calibration to ensure print quality and registration accuracy. Most systems require professional service every 6-12 months. Mail Movers offers comprehensive maintenance programs for Delmarva businesses that include scheduled preventive maintenance, priority service response, and discounted parts to minimize downtime and extend equipment life.
Can address printers work with my existing folder inserter?
Yes, address printers are designed to integrate with folder inserters and other mailing equipment. The addressing system typically processes envelopes before they reach the inserter, or can print on finished mailpieces after insertion. Mail Movers specializes in designing integrated mailing workflows that connect all your equipment for maximum efficiency. We serve businesses throughout Salisbury, Easton, Ocean City, and the entire Delmarva Peninsula.
