Scanley Hudson
Or the Ricoh fi-8170. This thing is an absolute beast. We’ve scanned more than 10,000 cards in one day with zero problem. Clean him regularly and he’ll be your best friend in the office.

Kevin Malone, the Tape Machine
We use masking tape and make hundreds of loops a day (to keep those cards right where we want them inside the envelopes) and this is one of the biggest time savers we have.
Invitation Envelopes
We use these invitation sized envelopes to send most of our orders out. They easily fit 2 card savers side by side, and they’re made of nice thick cardstock to add more protection.
Card Savers
Top Loaders get stuck in USPS sorting machines. They prefer semi-rigid card holders, and these fit the bill perfectly. They’re a great size for all cards and hold several when needed.
Digital Kitchen Scale
Shipping operations require a scale! We often need to double check weights of orders. A shipping scale would technically be better but this one works just fine.
Thermal Label Printer
We absolutely could not do this BEMA thing without a thermal label printer. It was one of our very first purchases, and we’d do it exactly the same way again.
Card Sorting Tray
We have two of these card sorting trays that are in use here at BEMA HQ pretty much all day every day. These are amazing, versatile tools for us (we’ll show ya soon...)
