    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a stacking assembly (500) accepts mail-pieces (510) traveling from a re-direct mechanism in a first direction and urges a leading edge portion (512) of a mail-piece (500) toward a registration wall (570) of a sortation bin (560). The stacking assembly (500) may include a plurality of neighboring cam shafts (320), each with at least one cam (310), arranged along the first direction, such that rotation of the cam shafts (320) results in synchronized rotation of the cams (310) to guide an incoming mail-piece (510). Rotation of the cam shafts (320) may also urge a previously stacked mail-piece away from the cams (310), and into the sortation bin (560), in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

    Abstract: An envelope sealing and flipping system can be incorporated into a mail inserter system to seal an envelope with a complete unbroken glue line and simultaneously flip the envelope face-up for downstream processing. The system includes a flip cage that receives an envelope and a moveable wetting brush that contacts the flap. The flip cage rotates, causing the flap to drag underneath the wetting brush, and realigning the envelope with a sealer nip which seals the envelope. The flip cage rotates continuously to receive, flip, and seal many envelopes.
