Description
About the Formax FD 262
The Formax FD 262 is a single-head tabbing system with a built-in feeder, applying 1.5-inch tabs at up to 12,000 pieces per hour. Because the feeder is built in, the FD 262 works as a complete, self-contained tabbing station: load the hopper, set the job, and let it run — no separate feeder to buy, match, and align.
In the mailroom workflow, the FD 262 takes folded self-mailers, newsletters, and booklet pieces off the folder and seals them shut for postal processing before they move on to addressing. It suits lettershops, in-plant mail centers, and print shops with steady tabbing volume — operations that need a machine to anchor the tabbing step every week, not just survive the occasional job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tabs does the FD 262 run?
Tabs from 5/8″ up to 1 1/2″ in diameter — translucent, paper, or clear — on rolls of up to 10,000. Order them from SuppliesForMailers.com; your included $820 gift certificate applies toward tabs and other supplies.
Do I need a separate feeder?
No. The FD 262 has an integrated bottom feeder holding up to 200 tri-folds, so it operates as a stand-alone tabbing system out of the crate — and you can reload media without stopping.
What is the difference between the FD 262 and the FD 282?
The FD 262 is a single-head tabber: 1 tab per pass, up to 12,000 pieces/hr, media up to 5/32″ thick. The FD 282 is a double-head system: up to 3 tabs (or USPS roll stamps) in a single pass, up to 25,000 pieces/hr single-tab, media up to 1/4″ thick, and it can run in-line.
Does tabbing meet USPS requirements?
Yes — the FD 262 uses “crash tab” technology and is designed to meet USPS requirements for mailing and automation discounts, with a tab sensitivity control to adjust for tab stock density.
Does it come with a warranty, and is installation available?
Yes — a 180-day warranty is included, and we offer 10% off an extended warranty at the time of purchase. On-site delivery, installation and operator training are available nationwide. The FD 262 runs on standard 120VAC, 50/60Hz. Call 866-430-2874.
