Since the invention of paper in the first century A.D., people have been folding paper into various shapes. In the sixth century, the Japanese made an art of paper folding and called it origami.
Skip forward to the 21st century and paper folding is much more than an art form—it's a necessity.
Every week, offices across the country print millions of bulletins, programs, and newsletters. And guess what? These documents all need to be folded before handing them for postage or marketing Distribution.

How does your staff meet its document deadlines? Do they rely on other staff to help? or will they consider a 21st-century solution—a paper-folding machine?
Many businesses are today choosing the automated solution over manual labor by purchasing a paper-folding machine.
The advantage of a folding machine is that paper gets folded quickly—hundreds or thousands of sheets per hour—and precisely. If you've never owned a paper-folding machine, you might not know where to start in looking for one.

"Administrators should look for machine flexibility, ease of setup and operation, cost, durability, and service availability when shopping for paper-folding machines," says Charles McNeil, marketing director at Ozfold, an industry leader in the design, engineering, sales, and support of paper-processing equipment.
Friction-Feed Paper Folders
The most commonly used paper-folding machine is the friction-feed paper folder, which uses a roller to pull a sheet of paper into the machine, and folds it .
These folders, which can process paper up to 17 inches in length and perform a variety of folds, are user friendly, inexpensive, and durable.
"Because of their simple operation, office administrators are able to focus their attention on other tasks and projects while the machine is running," says McNeill.
Office administrators will not have to seek out multiple staff to assist as [the folding machine] requires a single operator."
According to McNeill, businesses will save money by doing everything in-house with their paper-folding machine versus outsourcing the work. "Outsourcing is more costly and has a longer turn-around time," he says.
The Martin Yale 7400 at $665.00 will fold up to 4,000 sheets of A4 paper per hour. Small offices regularly choose the 7400 See this machine on : http://www.officeequipmentaustralia.com.au/product-info.php?id=1141
