Using delivery services to deliver letter bombs and threat items is seen as a soft solution. Terrorists, extremists, people with a grudge and even hoaxers have all used couriers. X-ray scanning for couriers is one of the most effective ways to ensure the safety and security of staff and customers.
X-ray scanning increases safety and reduces the disruption cause by hoax threats. Every suspicious bag, package or baggage item must always be viewed as a real threat. Even when it causes disruption until the hoax is uncovered. Cabinet and conveyor scanners allow couriers to look inside mail, parcels and bags. Sophisticated tools, analysis and materials differentiation techniques help to distinguish between hoaxes and real threats. This dramatically reduces the problem of suspicious parcels.
The most common x-ray scanning systems used by couriers are conveyor types. Such as our AXIS™ Conveyor. However, there is also a requirement for AXIS™-CXi cabinet scanners for secondary screening or sites with space issues.
CXi X-ray mail and baggage scanning for couriers
What can x-ray mail scanners identify?
- Explosives
- Power sources/triggers for IEDs
- Chemical and biological threats
- Powders and liquids – the so called “White Powder” threats
- Nuclear (CBRN) materials or devices
- Weapons
- Drugs
- Sharp/hazardous items
- Malicious mail
Envelopes, packages or baggage with either real threats or hoaxes pose a risk to facilities and employees. However, it can be reduced by matching a courier’s risk profile with appropriate screening methods. A 3DX-Ray risk assessment will highlight these threats. And it will show the steps needed to protect your business and employees.
Not only are a courier’s customer’s subject to terrorist attacks. But radicals also target delivery services directly to create chaos, disruption and delay.

The CXI cabinet x ray system
The AXIS™-CXi X ray system allows couriers to screen mail and parcels for threat items. It is ideal for both sites with limited space or as secondary screening. The system has a small footprint, is mobile and can be moved to wherever it is most needed.
3DX-ray systems offer aviation standard materials discrimination. This highlights and differentiates between materials such as plastic explosives, powders, liquids, organic materials and other threats.
The CXi™ has a large inspection chamber and imaging area and uses advanced, powerful, intuitive software with multiple abilities. It produces clear, high-quality images and uncluttered screens.
- Designed for easy use by non-technical staff
- Screens mail, packets, boxes and packages
- Has a large inspection chamber
- Provides clear, high-quality images
- Colours different materials
- Easy to use but has powerful tools and abilities
- Full training available
- Easy to move or reposition
