Not all paper folders are created equal

It’s true…there is a big difference between the various types of paper folders.

Letter Folders - These paper folders are designed to do the letter/C fold. These folders work great for home and small office use. They will fold your paper neatly to fit into a #10 size business envelope. Depending on the machine you may have to feed the sheets in one-at-a-time or a small stack.

Office-Friction - If you need paper folded frequently (like everyday), you need to consider an office-friction folder. You can fold a large stack of sheets and often in a variety of folds. These types of folders are called “friction” because they use friction rollers that automatically pull the paper in from the feed tray and fold it. There are manual-feed, semi-automatic or auto-feed versions and they handle medium to high volume paper folding.

Auto setup, auto-feed paper folders - These paper folders are friction folders that pull the paper from a feed tray and can automatically adjust according to the type of fold you need.

Air or suction-feed paper folders - These paper folders are great for medium to high volume use and are best for glossy paper and faster folding.

Paper folders/envelope inserters - These paper folders work well for mailings and will not only fold your document but insert into an envelope, too. The process is simple and automatic.

Folder/Sealers - These paper folders are high volume and will take a document, fold it, insert it into an envelope and glue it. The pressure-sensitive envelopes have a self-adhesive glue pre-applied before use.

The type of fold, paper size and weight, volume of paper folding your jobs require, ease of operation and your budget are also important considerations.
