Three automatic polywrapping machines are used for packing. Books or journals unsuitable for polywrapping are packed in individual 3-fold cardboard mailers. A selection of envelopes is on hand for mailings and promotional leaflets are also stored. Daily, weekly, monthly and annual back-up copies of data are kept in both London and Colchester. The computer is connected to an uninterruptable power supply, and there is hardware maintenance cover available 365 days of the year.
Access is via password and the London office is connected electronically.
