PSI Print Feeders †| Inline Printing, Feeding and Inserting System

Expand your Warehouse Capacity without increasing your Physical Space

PSI's Print Feeders increase your daily order throughput by automating manual printing and invoice feeding at your packing station.

As boxes or totes move along your conveyor line, this inline printing and inserting system uses friction to print, accumulate orders, separate and insert / feed your packing lists, invoices and other documentation.

Increases daily capacity

By improving the efficiency of your packing station, the daily capacity of your distribution center increases. More orders get out the door, without having to outlay capital on new packing lines or expensive warehouse expansion.

“Since we integrated these products into our distribution center, we have been able to dramatically cut production time and increase efficiency."

Guy Boudreault,
Director of Technical Services, RONA

Replacing manual packing list/invoice feeders with an inline printing and inserting system such as the Print Feeder improves the speed an order moves through the distribution center.

The reduction of the time gap between a customer’s order placement and receipt of their order, increases total product satisfaction, which in the long run means repeat business.

Direct labor cost savings can be realized through the Automation of your packing lists and invoices at the packing station. Rather than increasing your labor force to perform expensive manual packing list and invoice printing and inserting, implement PSI's automated inline document printer and feeder.

Integrate Into Your Existing Conveyer System

Both the Print Feeder and the Print Feeder DF can be custom engineered to be physically parallel or perpendicular to your conveyer system. This means even better utilization of space for distribution centers that have tight space limitations.

Eliminate Repetitive Stress injuries

Inline invoice and pack list printing and inserting systems eliminate human error and repetitive injuries associated with manual packing list inserting and feeding.



Options | Print Feeder DF | Print Feeder SF | Automated Document Feeder w/ Folder

The Print Feeder DF system is for those who require their invoice/packing list to be folded before it is automatically inserted. The system prints multiple orders into a mechanical buffer, separates the orders then folds and feeds the personalized shipping documents.

Before Installing a PSI Print Feeder

Packing Lists would be generated for 2,500 – 5,000 items per day.  These packing lists would be produced at night.

In the morning pickers would use packing lists as pick tickets.

If they needed 15 total of a certain type of shirt for 15 different orders, these shirts would be thrown in a tub and the packing lists thrown on top. Then the next type of shirt in whatever quantity would be thrown into tub and corresponding packing lists thrown on top.

Tubs of items would be pushed to bagging machine.  The bagger would only work if the pack list was attached to the item.

Therefore for 1 hour every morning, 10 people would sort packing lists with correct item and tape packing slip to each item.
