Booklet MakersBooklet Makers to Suit all Budgets and PurposesBooklet Makers comes in all shapes and sizes from compact low volume desktop solutions such as the Duplo AutoBookie Pro to high end, high capacity booklet makers such as the Muller Martini or the Ferag range of machinery, both of which are used for the creation of some of the most common magazine and newspaper brands.Probably the most common application for booklet makers is booklet production alongside a digital print engine for high quality, on demand booklets or magazines. Volumes of work tend to dictate the machinery requirement with high volume production from a lithographic press more suited to a Tower Collator fed unit into a stitch, fold and three knife trimmer. However, digital output is far more convenient and commonly produced in a collated sequence rather than individual sheets as a Lithographic press would produce. As a result of this style of output tied to the fact that most volumes of work are quite low for each production run and the common requirement for several different styles to be produced in any given day favours machinery that is either hand fed, such as the Duplo DBM150 &

Folding
- Paper Folding EquipmentPaper Folding Machines and Paper Folders for all budgets and requirementsA folding machine is a machine used primarily for the folding of paper. Paper can be folded with either a buckle or a knife; thus, there are generally three types of folding machines: buckle folders, knife folders or a combination of these two types. Whilst buckle folding is the more popular of the two methods, knife folding is sometimes preferable. Folding machine models vary in sophistication, with high-end machines capable of processing more complex folding jobs and unusual paper forms (in terms of density and size). Organizations required to undertake mass mail-out campaigns often employ folding machines to improve efficiency.Buckle Plate Paper Folding MachinesBuckle folders work by feeding the paper at high speeds until it can move no further; the reaction of the paper is to buckle. High friction rollers then grip the paper and push it through, folding the paper, which is squeezed between the rollers, in the process. Attached rubber provides the rollers with the required grip. The front edge of the paper is then finally placed into a “pocket”—a result of the rollers pressing together with the aid of a spring.Knife Folding MachinesA knife…
