High-Volume Production Folder Inserter
The Pitney Bowes Relay 9000 folder inserter was developed for organisations that require the flexibility to run both routine mailing jobs and more sophisticated applications involving multiple documents, inserts and variable page counts.

Operators can control job parameters through the touchscreen interface, including:
- Envelope settings
- Document sizes
- Folding
- Feeder assignments
- Feed sequencing
- Backup feeders
- Envelope sealing
- Scanning requirements
This makes the Relay 9000 well suited for production environments handling a variety of recurring and short-run mailing applications.
Flexible Document, Insert and Booklet Feeding
The Relay 9000 feeder system is designed to handle a broad range of documents and inserts.
The primary tower provides multiple feeding positions for sheets and inserts while the booklet feeder provides additional flexibility for thicker materials and booklets.
The system is capable of processing paper weights of approximately 60 to 200 gsm, depending on the application.
Its flexible feeder configuration makes the Relay 9000 suitable for applications requiring:
- Multiple inserts
- Variable page counts
- Booklets
- Statements
- Marketing materials
- Transactional documents
- Selective inserting
Multifunction Accumulator and Folder
The included multifunction folder provides document accumulation and automated folding before insertion.
Supported folding applications include:
- C-fold
- Z-fold
- Half-fold
- Double-parallel fold
- No-fold applications
The system can accumulate and fold multi-page document sets while automatically preparing each package for insertion.
Maximum filling thickness can reach approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) depending on the envelope, material and application.
2D Barcode Scanning and Intelligent Inserting
This used Relay 9000 is equipped with 2D barcode scanning, making it suitable for intelligent and variable-page inserting applications.
Barcode-controlled inserting can be used to identify which pages belong together and control how individual mailpieces are assembled.
This capability is particularly valuable when processing sensitive or variable information such as:
- Customer statements
- Invoices
- Financial correspondence
- Healthcare communications
- Insurance documents
- Government notices
- Utility bills
- Personalised direct mail
- Variable-page transactional mail
For organisations requiring greater mailpiece integrity, barcode scanning provides an additional level of control compared with conventional fixed-page inserting.
