Océ delivers the goods in the logistics workflow
Océ VarioPrint 5000 systems accelerate printing
It’s a digital age. Data is communicated instantly across the world; digital documents are whisked to addressees in seconds. Speed in the virtual world puts pressure on real networks: the networks that move physical goods to recipients. Every element in the workflow makes a difference. When logistics service provider DHL Fulfilment GmbH was looking for more speed and efficiency in printing processes, it turned to Océ. Three brand-new Océ VarioPrint 5160 cutsheet production printers now print bills and shipping documents at DHL’s Bremen-based logistics centre.
Specialising in logistics services for mail-order companies, direct-sales and chain-store companies, DHL Fulfilment is part of the Deutsche Post World Net brand and delivers efficient turnkey solutions to enterprises in industry and trade. The services address every link in the logistics chain, from procurement and order placement to warehousing, pick & pack order assembly, and distribution. Added-value billing services are also part of the portfolio.
A challenging mix of applications
DHL Fulfilment prints invoices and shipping papers in A3 format. Well aware of the extra communications potential of items such as bills, DHL Fulfilment leverages these documents to deliver maximum service to business clients and end customers. The company does this by adding personalised elements and varying the forms—with special perforations, for instance, and different variable elements including national information, personalised payment forms or individual labels for return shipments. DHL Fulfilment needed fast, flexible printing systems that could measure up the challenge of complex, personalised applications with a variety of formats.
Added value on cost and flexibility
The company benchmark-tested a shortlist of possible printing systems and made a precise assessment of the print costs and productivity of each. The winner on cost and flexibility was the Océ VarioPrint 5000 cutsheet printer series. The key advantages of this solution are its low total costs per document produced, its modular design and its versatility in large format printing. What also swung the decision for DHL Fulfilment was the Océ VarioPrint 5000’s ability to print from 12 input trays, each of which can be addressed individually—so the Océ machines can swiftly alternate between the various formats in DHL’s applications without slowing the workflow in any way.
 
Triple billing for Océ VarioPrint 5160
DHL Fulfilment opted to install three Océ VarioPrint 5160 cutsheet digital presses in its logistics centre in Bremen. The new Océ fleet prints invoices and freight papers for the company, bringing productivity and versatility to the online printing workflow, which also includes finishing modules for folding the prints. With a printing speed of up to 162 pages per minute, the systems make short work of long jobs. Alongside paper formats up to A3 oversized (432 mm) with a grammage of 60 to 200 g/m², the Océ VarioPrint 5000 can process special media such as perforated, preprinted and coated paper, adhesive labels and tab sheets, and delivers perfect black & white or two-colour prints every time.

Engineered for variability
The Océ VarioPrint 5160 cutsheet press brings top-notch performance to a diversity of applications. Users can custom-configure the system by adding their choice of modules. And with one system for a broad range of applications, DHL can make the most of its investment. There is less need for additional machines, less redundancy in resources and less floor space required. DHL Fulfilment is reaping the benefits—with a streamlined print operation that accelerates the fulfilment workflow.
