ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for fabricating a multi-sheet mailpiece including a compiler, and axial and radial deformation binding mechanisms. The compiler includes a sheet feeding apparatus and registration device for accepting multiple individual sheets. The sheet feeding apparatus lays the sheets onto a compiler tray to form a multi-sheet stack having face sheets and content sheets disposed therebetween. The registration device includes first and second registration gates for aligning the edges of the sheets, such that at least one edge of the content sheets is disposed inboard of the face sheets to define a peripheral edge. A controller positions the first and second registration gates from a registration position to a release position as the sheet material is laid upon the compiler tray. Finally, the multi-sheet stack is fed to the axial and radial deformation binding mechanisms to secure the peripheral edge of the multi-sheet stack to form mailpiece enclosure.
