PSM1800 - Pressure Sealer Machine

Free freight, a six-month warranty, toll-free telephone installation help, and 1,000 standard blank Z-folds are included in the price.

Best Pressure Sealer Machine for Small Offices

The PSM1800 pressure seal check machine makes pressure seal a viable option for small to medium sized offices. Organizations processing as few as 6,500 documents per year can easily justify the cost of the PSM1800 pressure seal check machine and see a positive return on investment.

Although the PSM1800 is one of our entry level check sealer machines / pressure sealer machines, you will be pleased to find that this check folding sealing machine can process a big workload with a larger hopper capacity of 65 sheets and the ability to seal 1,800 sheets in an hour. In addition, this pressure sealer machine allows you to add forms while it is already processing, saving you time in waiting for the process to finish before adding more forms to be sealed.

If you are looking for an entry level pressure seal check machine, or if you are looking to upgrade your existing check sealer, the PSM1800 is a great option!

The PSM1800 is the entry point in our range, and we sell it to the small office that mails a modest but steady amount of payroll and billing. It sits beside the printer, and one person can keep it fed between other work. Most first-time buyers are after exactly that: the envelope step gone, and nobody new to staff it.

PSM1800 Specifications

Forms and Folds It Handles

The PSM1800 takes paper up to 8.5" x 14", so it runs letter-size 8.5" x 11" stock and legal-size 8.5" x 14" stock. It makes C, V, Z, and EZ folds, plus custom folds, using manual fold plates. In practice that covers Z fold checks and statements, C fold notices, and V fold forms on letter-size stock, along with the longer legal Z fold and EZ fold formats. Matching form to machine matters: the fold pattern designed into the paper has to match the fold the PSM1800 is set to make. Tell us which format you print and our team can confirm the pairing.

Running It Day to Day

The workflow is short: print your forms on a laser printer, load the stack into the feeder, and let the PSM1800 fold and seal each sheet. No envelopes, no glue, nothing to moisten; the adhesive is already in the paper and activates under pressure, and the sealed edge is tamper-evident, so a piece that has been opened shows it. That is why our payroll customers put employee detail through it, and why a Friday pay run that once took an afternoon of stuffing clears in one pass.

How to Run a Batch on the PSM1800

1. Print the run. Print checks or forms on your laser printer onto pressure seal stock whose fold matches the job.
2. Set the fold. Set the manual fold plates to the pattern printed on the stock — C, V, Z, EZ, or custom.
3. Load the hopper. Place up to 65 sheets in the bottom-feed hopper and start the run at the fixed 1,800-per-hour speed.
4. Top up as you go. Add forms while the machine is still processing instead of waiting for the hopper to empty.
5. Collect and check. Sealed pieces land in the included catch tray. The PSM1800 has no conveyor and no doubles detection, so glance at the output as it stacks up.

Five Ways Offices Use Z-Fold Pressure Seal Mailers

1. Paychecks. Handling paychecks brings the worry that something could go wrong. Z-fold mailers come off the machine folded, sealed, and ready for delivery to your employees.
2. Important notices. Every growing business sends notices and memos, whether to all employees or to a single individual. Z-fold pressure seal mailers take the envelope hassle out of that task.
3. Grade reports. Documents like grade reports need to stay private and still go out on schedule. A sealed Z-fold mailer keeps the contents inside until the recipient opens it.
4. Invoices. Invoices carry account details you do not want passed around. Z-fold mailers make them easier to produce and send in a sealed format.
5. Direct deposit and bank statements. Financial records are a target for identity thieves. A sealed, tamper-evident Z-fold mailer shows if a piece has been opened before it arrives.

Z-fold mailers give a professional appearance while providing extra security — simply a smarter way of doing business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PSM1800 right for a small office?

We recommend it for low to moderate volume, such as a weekly payroll or a monthly statement run. If your department seals something every working day, one of the larger models will suit you better.

What forms does the PSM1800 run?

Pressure-sensitive stock up to 8.5" x 14" — both letter and legal size — in C, V, Z, EZ, and custom folds. Set the manual fold plates to match the fold printed on your stock.

How many sheets can the PSM1800 handle in a month?

Its rated duty cycle is 10,000 sheets per month. At its fixed speed of 1,800 per hour, a full 10,000-sheet month works out to roughly five and a half hours of running time.

Does the PSM1800 have a conveyor or a doubles detector?

No. Sealed pieces drop into the included catch tray rather than onto a conveyor, and there is no doubles detection. If you need a conveyor and a digital counter, the PSM6000 includes both.

How much does the PSM1800 weigh?

It weighs 50 lbs and uses a bottom-feed system with a 65-sheet hopper, so plan for a sturdy desk or table next to your laser printer.
