An arrangement for the rational handling of transmitted and printed messages comprises a sheet magazine (101), a printer (103) for printing messages on sheets taken from the sheet magazine, means (111) for collecting printed sheets into a collected bundle, an enveloping material magazine (113), means (114) for enveloping bundles of message-printed sheets in enveloping material taken from the enveloping material magazine (113) and folding means (112) for folding collected bundles of sheets prior to activation of the bundle enveloping means (114) such as to envelope the sheet bundle. The arrangement also includes means (104, 103, 111, 115, 118, 116) for dispensing received, printed and bundled message-printed sheets in accordance with the number of sheets in the bundle, wherein when the number of sheets in the bundle corresponds at most to a first number, the bundle is folded to a smaller size prior to being enveloped, whereas when the number of sheets in the bundle exceeds said first number and comprises at most a second number, the bundle is dispensed in an enveloped state without prior folding of the bundle.
