Look at how many folds this Circle has – We did all 6 folds automatically! How do other binderies fold a die cut circle? Most would start with a die cut circle that has one corner that’s perforated. The sheet would be folded like any other, (but limited to one or two folds) and then the perforated section would be…

The challenge of a Cross Fold piece like this one isn’t the die cutting or folding. Gluing the inserts onto the Cross Folder is the typical way of doing this job. But, as you can see in the video and the image below, the insert on the centre panel is not attached by glue! A piece like this is produced…

Do you have a Buckle Folding job that’s larger than 30”? All but a few Buckle Folders are 30” or smaller, which limits printers that print 28” x 40” sheets.

We’ve come up with a way to reduce the cost of a Cross Folder! The end…

We now offer Pillow Folding, which is folding on extra-light pharmaceutical stock. We have 7 miniature folding machines and have one of the largest miniature folding capacities in Canada and the United States! The pharmaceutical inserts I feature in this video are not very small, but they are printed on extremely light 30lb stock. The result is a very thick…

What’s Broadside Folding? The name comes from folding the longer dimension (or broadside) of a sheet first. For a 28” x 40” sheet, the first fold would bring to the piece to 14” x 40”. Most folders can only handle sheets that are 26” wide, which is too narrow for broadside folding. We now have 3 large-format folding machines that…

The folded brochure featured in this week’s email was a university acceptance brochure mailed to the incoming students. We produce 50,000 of these units every year. We’ve noticed that universities and colleges are spending more money on print advertising, specifically direct mail, than ever before. Next month, we have a run of 1.2 million pieces to fold for the University…
