Press Capabilties
Our core capability is offset printing on presses specifically designed to print on envelopes. NEI’s Jet Offset Presses can print from one color to four color process with detailed image reproduction and controlled color accuracy, providing our customers a quality product quickly and efficiently. Whether we’re printing a thousand envelopes or a million envelopes, you can depend on us to pay careful attention to every detail – from copy and position, to color matching, color breaks and run consistency.
Jet Offset Printing is a lithography process that offers the highest quality for envelope printing. It produces a clear, well-defined image area and provides excellent ink coverage. Here is a list of NEI’s Jet Offset equipment and capabilities.
Halm Jet Press
With printing speeds of up to 60,000 impressions per hour, our two Halm two-color Jet Presses are the fastest around. These presses are capable of a printing area of up to 9" x 12". Printing full bleed on the front and back of the envelope is possible – up to 4 1/8" x 9 1/2". With the ability to perfect, the Jet Press enables you to print both sides of the envelope in one pass.
Halm SUPER Jet Presses
With our two Halm SUPER Jet Presses, we can do quality two-color work on larger documents, up to 12" x 18" in size. Printing full bleed is possible on the front and back of the document - up to 9" x 12". The standard dual feeders enable you to run a larger variety of envelope sizes.

Envelope Converting
Litho/Offset Envelope Converting is the process in which a flat sheet of printed paper is converted into an envelope. There are several benefits to converting envelopes.
Our Envelope Converting partners provide us with competitive pricing and manufacturing time frames. We have access to both "High" and "Adjustable" die cutting configurations. Consult with your NEI representative to see if envelope converting can benefit your design.
Flexography
Flexography is a printing process in which the printing plate places ink directly onto the paper. Ink is applied to the raised surface of the plate. The inked image is then pressed directly onto the paper. The Flexography process (“Flexo”) is commonly used by envelope manufacturers. Through our strategic partnerships, NEI can utilize Flexography printing as a possible solution for your envelope needs. Talk with your NEI representative to find out if your envelope requirements can work with Flexography.
