Customer demand growing month by month

Working is moving ahead at quite a pace in China for the first of the pre-production products. Over the coming 10 days there will be a review at the factory covering everything from the schedule and product updates to make sure everything is OK for the pre production units.

The prototype is still doing its stuff here in the UK and being used to demo to more dealers and distributors, the list of those wanting to sell the product as part of their portfolio grows by the month.

Most businesses recognize that their post is not secure and Cypherseal offers a solution that means for the first time there is a product that business can buy to achieve a tamper evident sealed mail for the post. The Cypherseal product also provides a business real cost reduction as it eliminates people from stuffing envelopes or handling the printed sheet.

The most secure and tamper evident sealed mail you can get

Making ready for pre production and product launch

Having now been able to demo the prototype to a range of customers (with more lined up over the coming weeks) and having concluded the discussions with the factory in China, we are ready to move to the next phase of the project, pre production.

Pre production will be in two parts. The 1st part of pre-production will deliver 4 units which will be fully representative of the final product and user requirements and will be used for further customer trials as well as extended testing.

The 2nd part of the pre production plan is to produce a bigger quantity of units which will be finished to final production standard and have the CE mark, ready for customers. The completion of pre production achieves the product launch in October this year.

There is allot of detail planning work now taking place both here in the UK and in China and preparations are ongoing for market launch in a few months time. You can now see Cypherseal on Facebook!!

Its going to be a very busy time and a stretch for all of us at Cypherseal and the guys in the factory in China to make sure everything is completed and ready for the customers, exciting not to mention the hard work.

Until next time

Prototype product doing its stuff


At the end of last week our 2nd prototype unit arrived from the factory in China. Within an hour it was out of the wooden crate and up and running, doing its stuff. The guys in China have done a great job and it such a fast time, fantastic to see.

This is the 2nd prototype, the first prototype was a unit to demonstrate the basics of the new technology, this 2nd prototype is nearing production ready standard. I have attached a picture showing the Cypherseal PP1000 unit integrated with a Brother HL6050DN laser printer.

The next step is to have the prototype demonstrated to a range of potential UK customers (Value add distributors / dealers). In a start up its so important to have a working demo to show, gives everyone confidence and better understanding, not to mention the fun of demonstrating a world first technology.

In parallel, I am talking with the factory in China to lock down the details and costings for the next phase of the project, this is moving out of prototype and into pre production with our plan to have first production ready product ready for UK market launch in October of this year.

In the beginning

An inventor and entrepreneur Peter Prater had the idea and vision to use a new technology and create a business to enable SME's to reduce the costs of the various single sheet documents they print as well as to significantly improve the handling and distribution of confidential information often printed on the sheet. Over the next few years Peter began the work and patented the technology.

In December 2007, I joined Peter to set up the business and bring the product to market. The name of the business is Cypherseal. We are a young start up company based outside Bristol in the UK.

So what is so special about this new technology and Cypherseal? As we all know, a lot has been done in the recent past to help improve the distribution and confidentiality of electronic mail, but as for the printed sheet, well truth be told, nothing has been done over the recent past.
