Why use a paper folder?

Paper folders save you a lot of time and money. These machines are simple to use and easy to operate. Folding paper by hand can be long and tedious, not to mention the painful paper cuts. Paper folders increase the number of sheets you can fold to anywhere from 4,000 to 115,000 sheets per hour depending on the machine you use.

Paper folders:

• Increase the number of sheets folded per hour.
• Save you time by allowing you to do other things.
• Reduce physical and mental fatigue.
• Save you money by increasing output and decreasing man-power.
• Increase the types of folds you can create.

Things to consider before purchasing a paper folder:

What kind of paper will you be using?

There are many different types of paper. Paper can be thick, thin or even glossy. Different paper folders have different capabilities. Make sure the paper folder you are using can fold the paper you use now and in the future.

How often will you use the paper folder?

Some paper folders are built to be used continually while others are only meant to be used occasionally. Some paper folders are built to withstand mass mailings. Others are built to fold an occasional sheet of paper. Be sure you get a folder that works with the volume you fold.

Is space/mobility an issue?

Some paper folders sit at the side of your desk, providing mobility and ease of use. Larger, more heavy-duty folders require a table or countertop to rest on. For heavier paper folders, use a work station with wheels for mobility and ease of use.

Manual setup, auto-feed paper folders

Use manual setup, auto-feed paper folders for medium to high-volume paper folding. These folders have friction rollers that automatically pull the paper in from the feed tray and fold it. The only manual process required is setting up the folder. With a manual setup folder, you usually have to adjust the folding plates to the exact fold you want.

Auto setup, auto-feed paper folders

Use auto-setup, auto-feed paper folders for medium-to-high-volume paper folding. These folders have friction rollers that automatically pull the paper in from the feed tray and fold it. The paper folder automatically self-adjusts according to the type of fold you need.

Air or suction-feed paper folders

Use air or suction-feed paper folders for medium-to- high-volume paper folding. These folders are best used for glossy paper, where traditional friction folders typically experience problems. Use these folders with a wide variety of paper stocks. Air or suction-feed folders use air to advance or float a sheet of paper into the machine.
