What Are Pressure Seal Tax Forms?
Pressure seal tax forms are specialized 8.5" x 11" or 8.5" x 14" documents printed with dry-seal adhesive patterns around the borders. After printing through standard desktop laser equipment, the forms are fed through a pressure sealer machine, which applies thousands of pounds of pressure to fold and permanently seal the document into a ready-to-mail postcard unit.
