This is a piece that we have in house die-cut and folded it perfectly straight with six panels. Each panel is die-cut as you can see. Again, if you want some unusual folding, please give us a call. You do the printing. We do the folding.
These eight pictures show how we can fold a circle, a perfectly round circle with no notches, no grooves, no flat edge, a perfectly round circle. We have to my knowledge a very rare machine that is no register table. The feeder pulls a sheet out of the bottom right into the rollers, so there’s no movement as with conventional folding machines. The piece held by hand, shows you the actual size. The flat picture before the folding shows again the overall size, but if you follow the sequence of these folds, you can see there’s a number of folds, one in the left, one of the right, one in the top, one in the bottom half very few binderies can fold a circle.
This is another situation. You’ll noticed the circle has no flat edge, no notches, no bumps. We die-cut the circle from a large 28×40 sheet, creased and folded automatically. So, if you need some unusual folding done, please give us a call thanks.
This piece has a 11-inch-high centre panel. On the left side panel there’s three separate split panels and then the right side, there’s three additional separate split panels. We were able to take this guillotine cut piece, slit it in two positions and folded automatically to produce 6 panels plus the center. When you open on the right side the top panel maybe on the left side the middle panel there’s a total six panels to flip back-and-forth like a door. I’m not sure if there’s any other bindery in North America that can do this; the timed slitting rather than the usually required die-cutting.
This blue piece is a full triangle. When you open the piece up there’s a large straight edge with a two angle pieces and that’s folded in half then panels open for picture number three.
This four coloured piece as you can see starts out as a square with the four corners turn into the middle. This is light paper. pre-the folding. We were able to make these four-fold piece in one pass to produce the four coloured triangles.
There’s a lightweight stock piece. You can see from the flat piece that had multiple folds. Is this a standard card? An angle folded triangle, the finished piece has three sides. Of course, the question will be asked why did any customer want to triangle fold? Well simply because the triangle piece was to slid into a triangle pocket.
These four pictures show again an unusual folding style. The finished piece has two triangles for the cover. When the two triangles are opened in the second picture, the left is an orange and the right is blue and then when the orange is lifted down and the blue lifted up, you have a straight edge. In a sense panel folding requires highly unusual machinery. Something we can produce regularly.
