FOLDERS

FEATURING: AFC566FG

Folding of paper is one of the tasks performed in almost any business operation. There are many variations of folding
machines, from a manual setup unit to a fully automated system.
Many folders include pre-programmed fold patterns – the most common being letter fold (C fold), zig-zag fold (Z fold),
half fold (V fold), gate fold and double parallel fold. High-production large-format folders can have up to 20 pre-set
patterns as well as programmable custom-fold job capabilities. Paper is fed into the unit using a friction wheel or air-
powered suction, then it is folded with either a buckle fold or a knife fold, or a combination of both. Cortech has a folder
for every industry from small offices and the quick print industry to mailrooms and commercial print producers.

NUMBERING / SHEET FEEDERS

FEATURING: GRAPHIC WHIZARD 12000

Sheet feeding and document numbering are two of the processes found
in many print shops. Sheet feeding is used with production work where
speed and ease of production is important. Stand-alone paper feeders are
generally placed in-line with laminators or UV coaters. They are fed by
either a top-suction or bottom-suction process - bottom-suction feeders
can be reloaded continuously.
Many of the machines used in print finishing, including numbering
machines, have built-in feeders. Designed with either a unique friction or
suction fed system, the numbering machines Cortech carries can feed
pre-padded carbonless sets from the unglued side and create snap sets
at the same time. Numbering machines are available in both pneumatic
and electric options capable of performing repeat and dual numbering.
