“As a solutions provider we are pleased to share our full line of card personalization, mailing and management solutions with Cartes 2011 participants,” said Carl-Michael Heüveldop, Vice President Card Systems Atlantic Zeiser. “These integrated systems demonstrate the flexibility of our modular approach. They range from Atlantic Zeiser’s innovative and high performance Persoline system for ID card personalization, the Versamail for versatile, compact and cost efficient solution for automated card mailing in the middle performance segment and the Versamail system for high-volume card mailings up to the software suite PMP, a comprehensive, powerful and highly secure software-platform for the efficient management of card production, personalization and mailing. This advanced software suite can be expanded on demand with modules enabling both instant issuance and card lifecycle management. This approach of a one-stop shop will change the way card manufacturers think about their options to handle both new and existing business opportunities.

“We expect our visitors will be as excited as we are about the new business opportunities and efficiencies these advances will provide.” added Heüveldop.

Atlantic Zeiser’s Persoline is a powerful and versatile platform that can be easily configured with a wide range of system modules to handle specific applications. The advanced high speed solution offers significantly lower costs for consumables using innovative DoD Inkjet printing technology for full face edge-to-edge card surface printing and personalization. Persoline provides more versatility by integration of various module options in combination with different perso technologies. Varnishing with a UV curable protective layer for superior abrasion and scratch resistance increases the quality of each produced card. With the CoolShield lamination module a high level of security and flexibility in the choice of card materials is guaranteed.

New Persomail is a versatile, compact and cost efficient solution for automated card mailing in the middle performance segment. The innovative solution can process all common card types, reaching speeds of up to 3,000 cards per hour. Personalized cards can be fed by up to 4 feeders at random as an integrated printer personalizes the card carriers on demand. Cut sheet printers with several paper trays allow for selective draw-off of different forms. After card attaching, the inserting unit folds the card carriers (Z-, C- and V-fold), accumulates multi-page sets and selectively adds up to six enclosures. Finally, the mail pieces are inserted into envelopes. Using the Atlantic Zeiser new control and production software, operations become very easy. The software is based on MS Windows 7 and appears in a uniform graphical user interface (GUI). The integration of a new camera based verification system VeriCam E guarantees the highest level of production security and integrity.

Versamail is a modular and cost efficient finishing and mailing system for a wide variety of applications ranging from simple card attaching up to more complex attach & match or attach & personalize jobs required for promotion card packaging or envelope-less loyalty card mailing. Versamail offers a running speed of up to 28,000 products per hour while still allowing a high degree of flexibility and a low cost of ownership through short setup times and simple operation. High attach precisions are achieved using special Atlantic Zeiser designed pivotable Pick & Place feeders. Versamail offers various folding options and allows inline high quality carrier printing of variable data like numbers, barcodes and addresses. The Versamail provides Card Fulfillment Perso Bureaus with new service opportunities and enables them to cost-effectively boost their productivity in the booming markets for card packaging and card mailing.
