What is a Paper Folder?

As the first and essential step in bookbinding, folding plays a pivotal role in the entire bookbinding process.

After printing is completed, stacks of fully printed and dried parent sheets are transported to paper folding machines for folding.

A paper folding machine is primarily designed for folding paper, and there are three main types: buckle folders, knife folders, and combination machines that integrate both technologies. Among these, buckle folding is more widely used, while knife folding is preferred in specific scenarios. Machines dedicated to paper folding are commonly referred to as paper folders, which are typically used to create various folds such as letter folds (C folds), accordion folds (Z folds), half folds, fold-outs, double parallel folds, gate (brochure) folds, and right-angle folds.

Buckle Plate Paper Folding Machines

Buckle folders operate by feeding paper at high speeds until it can no longer advance; the paper then buckles as a reaction. High-friction rollers—equipped with rubber to ensure sufficient grip—then grasp the paper and push it through, folding it as it is squeezed between the rollers. Finally, the front edge of the paper is guided into a "pocket," formed by the rollers pressing together with the assistance of a spring.

As a manufacturer with 15 years of experience in folding technology, Guangdong Speed Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in refining such paper folding solutions. Our buckle folders and other paper folding machines are not only certified with CE but also backed by numerous patents, ensuring precision, efficiency, and reliability in every fold. Whether for standard folds or custom requirements, our equipment stands out in meeting diverse industrial needs.
