SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
CALL FOR SPECIAL SOLUTIONS
OFFICE
Whatever the task – whether folding to postal
format or for creative advertising – accurately
folded documents make a good impression. Daily
correspondence is folded neatly to envelope
format and attractive folding enhances the impact
of all kinds of mailshots. Even a single fold of just
one sheet of paper can be done faster and more
accurately by machine than by hand. This means
that professional folding machines in the office pay
for themselves after only a few hours of use.
STUDIO
Apart from high performance and operating
convenience, the prime consideration in purchasing
a professional folding machine is versatility in use.
The possibilities of handling advertising documents
such as brochures, mailshots and booklets are as
wide-ranging as their contents. Therefore it is just
as important to be able to change fold type quickly
and easily as to be able to set and save custom
folds.
SERVICE PROVIDER
Different paper sizes and qualities pose a major
challenge for folding in the service sector.
Furthermore, speed and flexibility are important
factors when it comes to folding large runs. The
minimum requirements include a capacity of over
10,000 folds per hour, DIN A5 to DIN A3 sizes and
folding capability for paper with a weight of up to
240 g/m².

THE MARTIN YALE
FOLDING PRINCIPLE
martin yale folding machines are based upon the buckle fold principle. The press folder is comprised of
4 press rollers and a feed table. The first two folding rollers, which are arranged one above the other,
advance the incoming paper web into the feed table and up to the table stop, which has been previously
set to the desired folding format.
The rollers continue to advance the paper into the feed table when the forward edge of the paper web
strikes the table stop, resulting in a sagging buckle fold which is captured by the two folding rollers which
are rotating in opposite directions, thus producing a break. The same procedure will be repeated in fold
table II thence the folded sheet will be transported to the outlay.

FAST AND TIDY FOLDING
The fold types most frequently used are pre-set in martin yale folding machines and can be selected at
the push of a button or manually by means of self-explanatory symbols, depending on the machine type.
Therefore individual fold types or paper sizes are changed in no time.
LETTER FOLD
In the letter fold the document is folded twice and hence
divided into three panels. The outer panels are folded inwards
and hence nest inside each other. This fold configuration
owes its name to its use for mailing purposes. However, it is
also used in creative advertising, for instance for brochures,
menus or invitations.
Z-FOLD
Similarly to the letter fold, the Z-fold is also folded twice and
the document is divided into three panels. However, unlike the
letter fold, the outer panels are folded in opposite directions to
give the distinctive “Z” look. This fold type is used mostly for
advertising purposes. Frequent forms of use are brochures,
stand-up displays, menus or mailshots.
HALF-FOLD
Unlike the other fold types, here there is only one fold along the
centre. This fold type is used for a wide variety of purposes, for
instance in mailshots, company brochures, stand-up displays,
greeting cards or menus.
4
IT’S THE SHAPE THAT COUNTS
DOUBLE FOLD
The double fold consists of two half folds one after the other.
The document is folded in half and then in half again to
create four panels. This fold type is suitable particularly for
brochures, menus or mailshots.
GATE FOLD
In the gate fold the document is folded twice to create three
panels, the two outer panels each being half the size of the
centre panel. The two outer panels are folded inward and
meet in alignment in the centre. By concealing the centre
panel, it is possible to create an element of suspense, e.g. in
a mailshot. That is why the gate fold is used in the advertising
sector.
SPECIAL Z-FOLD
As opposed to the normal Z-fold, the individual panels in this
version are not of equal length after folding. One projecting
end allows the document to be punched and filed in a folder.
This fold type is often used in the technical field, for instance
for archiving plans.
SPECIAL LETTER FOLD
In the special version of the letter fold, the nested panel is
significantly narrower than the other two panels. This fold
type is suitable for creative mailshots and is used mainly for
advertising purposes.

OFFICE
martin yale Office folding machines have proved themselves as valued items of office equipment. Daily
correspondence is handled with ease, leaving time for the things that are really important. These machines
are also suitable for occasional mailshots and offer scope to exercise your creativity. The automatic feed
enables convenient and accurate folding. Conveniently handling as many as 500 folds per day, these
machines are suitable for almost all offices.
SIMPLE HANDLING
Letter and Z-fold
Half fold
Double fold
Folding as simple as printing – that’s the credo of the martin
yale Office line. The four fold types for DIN A4 paper that are
most used are pre-set on the fold tables. Selection is made
manually and is incredibly simple thanks to the selfexplanatory
symbols. Then just load the paper to be folded and press the
start button. Once all the paper has been folded, the 7400
model even switches off automatically.
GIVE FREE REIN TO YOUR CREATIVITY
In addition to the symbols, the fold tables also indicate
dimensions in mm, meaning you can create your own fold
styles or adapt standard folds to the special format whenever
you like. This opens up a myriad of possibilities for making
unique mailshots or brochures without compromising output.
Apart from the automatic single-sheet feet, up to three sheets
can be manually fed and folded at a time.
No paper fanning needed
LOW MAINTENANCE
Even though the machines are maintenance-free in principle,
regular cleaning of the rollers raises the performance and
prolongs the life of a folding machine. The fold tables are
fully removable with ease to provide direct access and hence
quickly clear any paper jam.
Adjustable stacking tray

Thanks to the well thought-out and practical design, the
machines require a minimum of storage space. All the same,
the adjustable stacking tray provides plenty of space and so
ensures a smooth workflow.
