Overlay Modules (There are three types depending on your needs or requirements)
These modules extend the life of the graphic on the card that is placed by the photo or graphix module.
- Topcoat Module
  - Applies a thin (.01") clear overlay to the surface of the card to protect graphix printing.
- CardGuard Module
  - Thicker overlay used mainly with the photo module to protect the color image on the card
    It uses a UV light to affix the overlay to the card. This material can be embossed upon if
    in-line with the system.
- DuraGuard Module
  - This is the heaviest application of film and provides the highest level of protection
    This overlay cannot be embossed upon.
Ultraform Module
- This module applies the finished (personalized) card onto a carrier. It can apply up to four cards to
  a single carrier, and folds it into a "Z" fold and stacks them. It can then send them to the Ultrapack
  for insertion, if one is available.
UltraPack Module
- This is the inserter. It attaches to the Ultraform and inserts the card/carrier into an envelope and
  allows you to add up to 6 additional pieces of mailing into the envelope. It then seals the envelopes
  and stacks it into a bin.
