Claim:
1. A mailpiece fabrication system comprising: a wrapping system having an open end for accepting content material, a wrapping section forming a tube-shaped wrap defining a plurality of content material stations therealong each having a sealing adhesive for enclosing the content material, and a rotary cutter operative to cut the tube-shaped wrap between the content material stations to produce a plurality of wrapped envelopes, an imaging device arranged to optically image each of the wrapped envelopes and capture image data indicative of a spatial relationship between internal content material and one or more points of reference indicative of internal bounds of the sealing adhesive, a phase-nip roller assembly for delivering content material to the open end of the wrapping system and adapted to incrementally adjust a position of each piece of content material relative to a respective content material station, and a controller, in operative communication with the imaging device and the phase-nip roller assembly, receiving captured image data from the imaging device and configured to responsively compare the image data to a set of predefined acceptance criteria to produce a correction feedback signal, the controller being configured to use the correction feedback signal to control the phase-nip roller assembly to incrementally adjust the position of each piece of content material relative to the respective content material station.
