ABSTRACT An electronic computer orders magazines of multiple titles from dispensing units, each of which has a single title assigned to it, and these orders are or- ganized by carrier route, that is to say all magazines for subscribers of a specific carrier route are ordered in sequence. The orders are directed to a magazine dispensing unit which has a different pocket for each title, and these pockets deliver to the conveyor one after the other magazines that fill the subscriptions to which the various addresses pertain. The computer also causes the insert dispensing unit to deposit on the magazines as those magazines pass under the unit inserts that are appropriate to the magazine and its subscriber. Next a wrapping machine places a transparent polymer film around the magazine and any insert which is on it. Then the conveyor carries the magazine past an ink jet printing unit where the subscribers name and address are applied to the polymer envelope, the printing unit likewise being connected to the computer. The conveyor thereafter de- posits the magazines one after another in a stacking machine, which is also under the control of the computer, and it arranged the magazines in stacks which comply with the requirements for carrier route sortation, in that each stack has magazines addressed to a single carrier route, contains the minimum number of magazines, and does not exceed the prescribed weight.
