Aerocut Prime Complete

Aerocut Prime Complete – the Most Versatile Digital Finisher, Ever!

The Aerocut Prime complete is the most productive and versatile digital finisher, ever! Click here to learn more…

The AeroCut Prime Complete is an ideal solution for print finishing, especially for short-run digitally printed applications, such as business cards, post cards, invitations, greeting cards, leaflets, tickets and more.  The Prime saves time and cost for any print shop, in-house printer, commercial printer, etc.

The first advantage of adding the AeroCut Prime slitter/cutter/creaser is imposition. When using a paper cutter there is conflict in production. Cutting cards on a cutter works better with larger stacks and in order to do that you wind up mixing the names or ganging up cards. As you cut the stack, you are confronted with keeping the stacks in order so that they can be boxed without mixing up the cards. When using a slitter/cutter you put only one name on a sheet, eighteen-up. Run as many sheets as you need to complete the order.

Compensation for inconsistent register from the digital print engine is the second advantage of a slitter/cutter. The Aerocut Prime does not cut based on the edge of the sheet. The Aerocut Prime reads the registration mark on the lead edge and cuts based on the position of the mark and not on the edge of the stock.

Finally, the Aerocut Prime slitter/cutter removes nearly all of the labor in finishing business cards. Simply place the stack of sheets into the feeder, push the start button, and walk away! Watch the Aerocut Prime demo video by clicking the link below!

Article provided by MBM Corporation.March 16, 2016, Carrie Ford, Advertising Manager.

The indoor air we breathe has an under-appreciated influence on our well-being. Statistics reveal that we spend up to 90 percent of the day indoors – more time than ever before. Considering this, not a lot of effort is needed to grasp the impact that air quality can have on our well-being. Those who can work in naturally healthy air work better because they feel fine, can clearly perform better, and are sick less. But good air is often hard to find in the office.

Document Shredding Company Employee Eyed in ID Theft Ring

Identity TheftNBCDFW Special Report by Scott Gordon / Friday, March 28, 2014

A Fort Worth man who worked for a document shredding company did not destroy bank records and instead shared them with thieves, according to court documents.

The number of potential victims is in the thousands and the total loss may be in the millions of dollars, a law enforcement source told NBC DFW.

Patrick Doucet, 43, of Fort Worth, drove a truck for Cintas Document Management, police said. The Ohio-based company promotes its off-site shredding business as safe and secure.

Major businesses, including an insurance company, contracted with Cintas to destroy their customers’ records.

The police investigation is outlined in a search warrant for Doucet’s North Fort Worth home. In a search of the house last week, police seized computers, cell phones and other items after investigators said they found a victim’s check in Doucet’s trash.

Doucet has not been arrested but the investigation is still very active, the source said.

According to the search warrant, the investigation started in Henry County, Georgia, in January.

Police there arrested Shanika Jackson, 37, of Atlanta, and charged her with writing fake checks in the name of a Bedford woman.

Investigators said she implicated Doucet and told them he worked for a document shredding company.

It is unclear how the two may know each other.

Fort Worth detectives said they confirmed Doucet was a truck driver for Cintas and that the thefts involved Cintas’ customers on his route.

Court documents label this a multi-state theft ring.

Police said a man near Seattle was robbed of his identity after he wrote a check to Allstate Insurance Company and mailed it to Dallas.

Detectives said they found the man’s torn-up check in a search of the trash in front of Doucet’s house and the victim later confirmed someone had recently tried to write fraudulent checks on his account.

Investigators also said they confirmed Allstate was one of the businesses on Doucet’s route.

In a statement, Allstate said, “We take our customer’s privacy very serious and are looking into the report.”

Allstate is the only Cintas client mentioned in the search warrant and it is not clear what other businesses and their customers may have been victimized.

Michelle Goret, Cintas’ director of corporate communications, did not respond to a phone message or emails late Friday.

Mike Hansen, Cintas’ vice president and treasurer, also did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Doucet did not answer his door Friday afternoon and could not be reached.

The F.B.I. estimates that U.S. businesses lose tens of billions of dollars every year due to theft of company data. All the electronic security measures in the world are useless if you’re throwing out confidential hard copies and disks by the truckload. Putting your trust in an outside shredding service to dispose of confidential data for you is not the answer. By outsourcing your company’s document disposal, you effectively relinquish control of the program. In addition, the costs associated with shredding services are at astronomical levels and are not going to decrease. The surest and most economical way to protect your company from data or identity theft is to shred sensitive documents in-house, at the source–in the hardened steel cutting shafts of a Destroyit® paper shredder.

Destroyit paper shredders from MBM set the standard for strength and durability. Destroyit shredders do more than just shred paper, they are an essential part of your security program. For additional information, contact MSL at 1-800-343-4231 or visit us online at www.midstatelitho.net.
