The history of our original product line links back over nine decades ago, to the 1930’s, when Rapidprint was produced in New York City under the brand names Acme and Ajax. In the 1940’s, Rapidprint (owned by Raymond Engineering) moved to Middletown and grew to be the largest provider of automated date, time, numbering, and check signing machines to the United States government as well as the insurance industry, the New York Stock Exchange, hospitals, banking and municipalities across the country. The inception and incorporation of Bidwell Industrial Group centered around the purchase of the Rapidprint brand in 1987.

Rapidprint equipment has been time tested in the most rugged applications, yet they are attractive enough to fit any office decor. It is likely that you will find a Rapidprint automatic date, time, numbering or check signing stamp in a large percentage of office environments across the country (and world).

Our commitment to the Rapidprint product line is currently in a state of transition as the demand and stock levels of Rapidprint machines dwindles. The bulk of our work involves maintenance, calibration and inspection of machines that are actively in operation throughout the United States and other countries.

NUMBERING MACHINES

These rugged, electronically actuated machines are designed to solve the widest range of sequential numbering problems. In operation, Rapidprint numbering machines stamp a number each time a document or form is inserted, then advance the number automatically with each imprint. Every time you insert a document, solid brass typewheels assure superior imprint quality, and solid-state circuitry guarantees consistent impressions. The model ADN-E is available for applications when both sequential numbers and a date are needed.

VALIDATING MACHINES

This specialized machine is designed for validating bank documents. Its individual removable dies are engraved with the teller number or other relevant identification, and each user is responsible for his or her plate. The plates can be used on any –RST machine from Rapidprint, allowing tellers or other operators to change work stations with ease.

The machine prints automatically upon insertion of a document. Solid-state circuitry assures consistent impressions every time and the stamping force can be adjusted for multi-copy forms. The easy-change ribbons advance and reverse automatically and solid brass typewheels provide superior imprint quality. All of the components are housed in a rugged die-cast case equipped with a sturdy lock to prevent tampering.

The AD-RST-E model is designed for date only printing, while the AR-RST-E model prints both time and date.
