Print On-Demand Fulfillment
Automate Accuracy in Custom Print Fulfillment
Systems Built for Unique Printed Products
Custom print fulfillment is all about precision and agility. Whether it’s marketing inserts, on-demand packaging, or high-value printed materials, operations must handle variable orders with tight deadlines and zero room for error.
StreamTech’s automation solutions help eliminate manual bottlenecks, reduce rework, and improve throughput—delivering consistent, on-time performance and fewer labor demands.
Custom Prints, Custom Solutions
Handling Flat Envelopes with Care
Flat mail envelopes need specialized solutions. We help you choose the right feeders, pick-and-place robots, and sensors to ensure smooth handling. Our systems use precise photo eye placement and pressure-sensitive labelers to protect your equipment and ensure reliable performance—so your operation runs efficiently and without damage.
Labeling, Scanning & Sorting Bagged Items
Bagged or shrink-wrapped products—like printed blankets or apparel—can present scanning and sorting challenges. We understand how to navigate obscured labels, integrate with bagging systems, and design solutions to label and sort bagged items accurately. Trust us to tailor the right approach for every soft, bundled, or wrapped item.
Oversized, Fragile and Framed
Large canvases and photo frames often extend beyond standard conveyor widths. We design low-profile conveyor can accommodate these types of unique products. For accurate dimensioning, we replace overhead scanners with light curtain technology—giving you precise data and gentle handling, no matter the size.
Creative Scanning & Labeling Techniques
Custom-printed items can be tricky when the LPN is tucked inside the package. We’ve developed creative scanning and labeling solutions to keep orders moving without unpacking or delays. If the standard approach doesn’t work, we’ll design one that does.
Efficiency That Moves With Your Print Operation
Automate Insert Handling
Systems like the CardSerter™, ThermSerter™, and FoldSerter™ automate inserting promotional pieces, instructions, or pack slips, ensuring each package is complete and compliant without slowing down production.
High-Precision Scanning & Verification
Integrated scanning systems verify every package, reducing risk of misprints, missing items, or incorrect kitting that can damage customer trust.
Flexible Conveyor Solutions
StreamTech conveyors handle flat mailers, folded kits, bags and boxed materials, helping custom print fulfillment operations efficiently move a wide range of products through each fulfillment stage.
Automated Labeling & Tracking
Print and apply labeling systems ensure precise, tamper-proff labeling on every package, and integrated software keeps orders traceable from packing to delivery.
Integrated WCS Software
StreamTech’s WCS seamlessly manages order routing, equipment coordination, and performance tracking, helping print operations maintain flow even during peak periods.
Labor Reductions and Uptime Improvement
Automating repetitive manual tasks frees staff for higher-value work, improves system uptime, and ensures print houses can meet tight client deadlines without adding headcount.
See How Pic the Gift Increased Efficiency
Labor-intensive and error-prone manual fulfillment took too many resources from PTG’s core manufacturing process and required too much training especially during peak holiday surge periods when team members were rotating between different roles. In the company’s first holiday season with the new automation, Pic the Gift was able to fulfill the same amount of packages with 60% less labor required for the fulfillment process.

Automate Dimensions, Weight and Shipping Labeling

With a full end-of-line shipping automation system, you can gather weights and dimensions in motion, rate shop them with your multi-carrier TMS software, and then put the right label on every package. These systems can operate starting at 15 CPM, and scale up easily from there.
