Abstract
A sealing assembly includes a support roller. The sealing assembly also includes a center roller having a sealing ridge attached thereto which operatively contacts the support roller so as to urge a first enclosure sheet into contact with a second enclosure sheet. The sealing assembly further includes a first edge roller which operatively contacts the support roller so as to urge the first enclosure sheet into contact with the second enclosure sheet. The center roller and the first edge roller are rotatably supported on a common axis. The center roller rotates independently of the first edge roller. A method of sealing an envelope in a document security apparatus is also disclosed.
