Description
About the FD 1200
Institutions and individuals looking for an affordable mailing solution found it in the Formax FD 1200 Pressure Sealer. Designed for low-volume work where ease of use and compact size matter most, it fuses laser printing and pressure sealing into a comfortable, dependable device for producing secure documents — no envelopes required. Clear fold plates and a smooth drop-in feed system keep it running without difficulty or downtime.
The FD 1200 produces up to 35 documents per minute and handles forms up to 14" long, meeting the basic mailing standards small offices need. It folds Z, C, uneven Z, uneven C, half and custom folds, all on pre-marked fold plates that make switching form sizes quick and simple. A catch tray keeps processed pieces in neat, sequential stacks. Rugged and cost-effective, it is ideal for small offices, home stations and charity or small-scale mailing operations.

Still Supported by All For Mailers
The FD 1200 is no longer in production — Formax replaced it with the AutoSeal FD 1202, which carries this same low-volume design forward. As a veteran-owned Formax dealer, expert since 1991, All For Mailers still supports existing FD 1200 units with genuine parts, rollers, sealer solution and hands-on phone help from Feasterville, PA, and can move you to the current FD 1202 when you are ready.
Protect what you have. These machines were built to last, and the mechanics will outlive the electronics every time. If you’re running one, put it on a quality surge protector, and add static protection — especially in dry winter air or on high-speed paper handling. Power spikes and static are what kill boards, and on these machines a board may not be replaceable at any price. It’s the cheapest insurance there is for equipment you can’t simply reorder.
