Martin Yale EX5100 Express Tabber Tabbing Machine Review

• The smaller dimensions of this machine make it perfect for desktop or tabletop use. It measures 20" x 21" x 17" and only weighs about 40 pounds. While you could move it fairly easily from one location to another, we'd recommend storing it on a cart for frequent relocation.
• No matter what size documents you need sealed, this device can precisely center the tab. Electronic adjustments allow for exact centering. A permanent batch counter tallies items for you, allowing you to insert items and let the machine do the work for you. This saves you time from needing to count out the exact number beforehand. If anything goes wrong with this device, a built in diagnostic testing system performs simple troubleshooting.
• The Express Tabber takes in a variety of documents for sealing. They can be as large as 5" by 12" and up to 1/8" thick. Materials are processed as fast as 7500 pieces per hour.
• This device works well with both pin-fed and non pin-fed tabs. The tabs can be either a square size of 7/8" or a circle in either 15/16" or 31/32". A roll of 5000 tabs can fit onto the machine for continuous feeding. This gives you plenty of tabbing before you need to refill it. The tabs can have either friction or tractor fed backing for optimum adhesiveness.
• Martin Yale provides a one year warranty on this tabbing machine.

• The Express Tabber isn't able to label items. If your office mainly seals documents that can have printed on addresses, this won't be much of an issue for you. However, having a machine able to perform both functions can you valuable time. For this we recommend the Martin Yale EX5000.
• This machine doesn't work with translucent tabs. Many businesses can just as easily use regular white tabs and be just fine with this. But if your office specifically prefers clear tabs, be sure you get a machine with this capability.
• While 7500 pieces per hour sounds like a great output, be sure you take into consideration your company's needs. This is on the slower end of tabbing machines yet still produces swift results. Larger offices with higher quantities of mailers will probably prefer a faster machine with speeds up to 35,000 pieces per hour.
