In post-press finishing, versatile folding tools are essential to meet diverse production needs. The Independent Folding Knife adds supplementary folds to nearly any process, while the mobile Second Folding Unit expands folding capabilities—together, they enhance workflow flexibility for printing, mailing, and finishing facilities.
The Independent Folding Knife is specifically engineered to add a supplementary fold to virtually any finishing process, addressing the common need for extra folding steps that standard equipment may not accommodate. This flexibility makes it a valuable addition to any post-press workflow, as it can seamlessly integrate with existing machinery to expand capabilities without the need for costly new equipment investments, supporting applications from mailing lines to offline custom tasks.

It boasts wide-ranging common applications across various industries, most notably in mailing lines where it streamlines the folding of mail pieces to ensure they meet postal standards and are ready for efficient distribution. By adding the necessary supplementary fold, it eliminates manual folding steps, reduces labor input, and ensures consistent, uniform results for high-volume mailing operations, while also complementing stitchers to create mail-ready, stitched products.
The Independent Folding Knife is also fully compatible with large-format folders, extending their capabilities by adding supplementary folds to large-format printed materials such as posters, brochures, and banners. Additionally, it excels in offline operations, offering flexible supplementary folding for small-batch or custom finishing tasks, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes from small print shops to large production facilities.
A standout feature of the Independent Folding Knife is its availability in two distinct configurations—‘up-down’ or ‘down-up’—which provides the exact folding direction required to match the imposition and exit position of your specific finishing line, eliminating compatibility issues and ensuring precise, consistent folding results every time.
The Second Folding Unit is designed with mobility in mind, being mobile and equipped with 4/6 buckle plates, a design that significantly expands folding capabilities beyond basic right angle folding applications. Its mobile nature allows for flexible placement across different finishing lines, adapting to changing production needs without permanent installation.
The robust designed Second Folding Unit can be seamlessly added to the CP first station parallel fold unit to perform right angle cross folds, a key capability for creating more complex folded products that require precise cross-folding. This integration enhances the functionality of existing folding equipment, allowing businesses to handle more diverse folding tasks without investing in separate machines.
Beyond cross-folds, the Second Folding Unit can also be placed in tandem, in a straight line, to perform more complex roll and accordion folds when additional parallel folds are needed that the first station folder cannot provide. This versatility ensures that businesses can tackle even the most intricate folding requirements, from simple cross-folds to complex multi-layer folds, supporting a wider range of post-press finishing projects.
