Lake Image: Mail Merge, Track & Print System
Product Details
The Lake Image Mail Merge, Track and Print system integrates variable-data merging, USPS tracking, and addressing into a single production workflow — used for mailings requiring closed-loop tracking and personalized content delivery. This video walks through the integrated system.
What this video shows: Pre-printed content arriving at the system, the merge process matching each piece to its target record, USPS tracking barcode generation and application, and addressing print — all in one integrated workflow. Per-piece audit trail of merge, track, and print operations.
Who runs the Lake Image Mail Merge, Track & Print system: Direct mail and bindery operations producing tracked variable-content campaigns. Financial and healthcare operations producing regulated mail with delivery audit trails. Operations earning USPS automation discounts requiring tracked sortation. Specialty operations whose mailings combine personalized content with tracking requirements.
Why integrated merge + track + print: Separate systems require transfers between merge, tracking application, and printing — slow, error-prone, and breaks the audit trail. The integrated system handles all three in one workflow with closed-loop verification that each piece's content, tracking, and address match.
Key specs: Lake Image Mail Merge, Track & Print system | Variable-data merge from upstream data sources | USPS tracking barcode (IMb) application | Addressing print | Throughput: production line speed | Per-piece audit trail
Frequently asked
Does this support USPS Informed Delivery integration?
USPS tracking barcodes are foundational to Informed Delivery participation. The system applies IMb tracking on each piece — pair with Informed Delivery campaign management for full integration.
How does this compare to a folder-inserter with addressing?
Folder-inserters fold and stuff but don't include the merge+track workflow. The Lake Image Mail Merge, Track & Print system focuses on the merge + tracking + print steps, typically before or after inserting, depending on operational layout.
Can the system integrate with our existing direct mail line?
Yes — custom configurations are standard for this system. Integration with existing equipment is part of the scoping process. Confirm specifics with a Mailtech specialist.
