Martin Yale Paper-Folding Machines

Cut down on time spent manually folding mailings and documents with a paper-folding machine, which automatically feeds and folds paper into different styles for simple placement in envelopes or to create booklets and pamphlets. Great for use in offices, mailrooms and churches, paper folders are perfect time-saving tools. For all of your paper handling needs, there are plenty of paper punches, cutters and folding machines available, plus basic supplies to help employees complete simple tasks.

Low-Volume to High-Volume Paper Folders

Whether your business handles a significant amount of mail on a daily basis or just sends out occasional mailings, there are paper folders intended for low-volume, moderate-volume or high-volume use to accommodate any situation. Pay attention to the operational speed, which dictates how many sheets of paper can be folded within an hour's time. A paper folder that folds up to 1,800 sheets per hour is considered low-volume, while a paper-folding machine that folds up to 10,300 sheets per hour is considered high-volume.

Compatible Materials

A paper folder generally features an adjustable design that can accept varying paper sizes, from 3 1/2" x 5" index cards and 8 1/2" x 11" letter-size sheets to 8 3/4" x 14" legal-size papers and 12" x 18" extra-long documents. Paper folders that accept stapled sets are extra versatile.

Folding Styles

Before selecting a paper-folding machine, make sure it supports the folding style that you need or prefer. Most paper folders have multiple folding options, usually offering around four or six selectable settings. Some common folding styles include letter, half, Z-fold, double parallel, gate and church.
