<p>An apparatus (70) for stabilizing mail items (38) in a mail container (54) has on opposite sides a first pair of flaps (74a, 74b) and a second pair of flaps (76a, 76b). The mail items (38) form a stack having a first mail item, a last mail item and a plurality of mail items between the first and last mail items. Each mail item stands on a small side, has a middle region (82) and two lateral regions (84), one on each side of the middle region (82). The first pair of flaps (74a, 74b) applies a first force against the middle region (82) of the first mail item, wherein the first force urges the first mail item towards the last mail item. The second pair of flaps (76a, 76b) applies second forces against the lateral regions (84) of the last mail item, wherein the second forces urge the last mail item towards the first mail item. These forces cause the mail items to curve, which stabilizes the mail items in the container.</p> |
