Question

I’m in the market for a paper folding machine and I’m hoping you can point me in the right direction.  I am looking for a machine that will do a “French” fold—basically fold a standard piece of paper in half and then fold it in half again so it’s in quarters.  We have a Martin Yale 1601 and although it will French Foldfold the paper in half initially, the only way to get the second fold is to run the pages back through which causes constant jamming issues.

Are there paper folding machines on the market that will reliably fold a paper into quarters?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Answer

There are a few models that can do this, but we recommend the Dynafold DE-262AF Paper Folder. This automatic paper folder has all of the special features you need to successfully execute a cross fold, or French fold. The machine is relatively simple to set up and adjust for this type of technical fold.

We are not aware of any paper folders that will perform a French fold in just one pass. However, the DE-262AF makes the process as hassle-free as possible. The best thing about Dynafold machines is their price. And, they come equipped with several features (such as cross folding) typically found on higher-priced models.
