What is an X-ray mail scanner?

An X-ray mail scanner is a security screening system used to inspect incoming mail, parcels and packages for suspicious or potentially dangerous items without needing to open them.

What can X-ray scanners detect in mail and parcels?

X-ray scanners can help operators identify unusual or suspicious contents, including concealed metal components, wires, batteries, dense materials and other items that may require further investigation.

Which X-ray scanner is right for my organisation?

The right system depends on factors such as your volume of incoming mail, the size of items being screened, available space and your security requirements. We offer solutions for low, medium and high-volume environments.

Are X-ray scanners suitable for smaller offices?

Yes. Compact desktop systems are available for organisations processing smaller volumes of mail and packages, providing effective screening without taking up significant office or mailroom space.

Do you provide X-ray scanners for high-volume mailrooms?

Yes. Conveyor X-ray systems are available for organisations with higher screening demands, allowing larger volumes of mail, parcels and packages to be processed efficiently.

Are X-ray scanners difficult to operate?

Our systems are designed to be straightforward for operators to use, including non-technical staff. The appropriate training and guidance can also be provided to help teams screen items confidently.

Do you offer other threat protection equipment?

Yes. Alongside X-ray screening systems, Digital Mailing Solutions can provide additional security and threat protection solutions including walk-through metal detectors, bomb safes, bomb bins and bomb blankets.

Can you assess our current security requirements?

Yes. We can discuss your existing mailroom operation, screening volumes and potential risks to help identify the most appropriate security solution for your organisation.

Can X-ray scanners screen both letters and parcels?

Yes. Depending on the system selected, X-ray scanners can be used to inspect everything from letters and padded envelopes to larger parcels and packages, helping organisations screen a wide range of incoming items.

What our clients are saying

DMS’ IntriMail has evolved the way we process our outbound mail. The ability to automatically group documents from different sources for an individual recipient means that we no longer need to send out multiple envelopes to the same customer at the same time. This has greatly improved process efficiency, significantly reduced costs and boosted customer satisfaction.

We migrated our entire franking machine fleet from Pitney Bowes and Quadient to DMS. DMS worked with all areas of our business to ensure the move was seamless. We now order all machines direct from DMS and the day-to-day management of our account has improved imeasurably. The DMS team has been excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
