Each day you receive somewhere between 200 and 500 applications, with the same number of photos. Except a couple of dozen photos spill out of the return envelope and litter the office confetti-like.
Now trying playing the game and match a photo to an
application form. This is ... Picture Pairs Gone Bad!
But there is a quite brilliant solution. Build into the
document an adhesive patch to ensure that the photo is stuck down firmly onto the paper.
The Two Options
1. A simple silicon patch, covering an oblong-sized
adhesive panel. Peel away the silicon, and stick
down your photo.
2. A clear laminate patch on the reverse, with a die-
cut window on face. Peel away the window
allowing the photo to be stuck face down on the
clear laminate.
This allows the photo to be scanned directly from
the application form. A truly awesome product.
The Incredible Payback
The benefits to the Transport Department are staggering.
• Faster processing of application forms
{estimated to treble the throughput}
• Photo scanning speeds improved exponentially
{because the photos are now all in the correct
position, for every single application form}
• 100% reduction in mismatching of photos with
application forms {imagine the costs of re-doing
a mismatched application form}
• Many more applicants remember to enclose a
photo, so no expensive reminder letters are
needed.We supply these products in a number of
different formats, which you can view by clicking

In addition, we also
produce the entire
mailing for some
councils. From
pre-print, through
data processing to
laser personalisation
and enclosing.

working in the Transport Department of your local council. Each year you send out thousands of application forms to people who are entitled to concessionary travel terms.
Real Life Picture Pairs
You send out 12,000 application forms. Each application asks for stacks of personal information, plus a passport-sized photo. This photo will be scanned and printed out onto a plastic Travel Card.
