Formax FD346 Air-Feed Paper Folder: Full Demo
Product Details
The Formax FD346 is a programmable air-feed paper folding machine built for print shops handling mixed daily folding work — touchscreen control, programmable fold presets, and air-suction feed for digital print substrate. This video walks through the FD346 in production use.
What this video shows: Digital-printed sheets loading into the FD346's air-feed magazine, the touchscreen interface presenting programmed fold presets, and the folder running mixed jobs back-to-back with quick changeovers between fold types. Fold accuracy and air-feed reliability on coated and toner-printed stock.
Who buys the FD346: Production print shops running mixed daily folding work. In-house finishing departments handling varied content from invoices through brochures. Mail operations using it as a letter folding machine for statement and notice content with multiple fold geometries. Operations whose job mix benefits from quick programmable changeover.
Why air-feed plus touchscreen programmability: Air-feed handles digital print stock reliably; touchscreen programmability lets operators switch between fold geometries without manual setup each time. For mixed-work print shops, this combination is the right operational fit.
Key specs: Air-feed programmable paper folder | Fold types: standard mail folds plus programmable variants | Substrate: digital print stock, coated and uncoated | Throughput: production-tier sheets per hour | Touchscreen control with fold presets
Frequently asked
How many fold presets can the FD346 store?
Multiple presets are supported in the touchscreen — enough to cover typical mixed-shop job mix. Specific preset count is in the spec sheet; confirm with a Mailtech specialist when scoping.
How does the FD346 compare to the FD38X?
Both are mid-to-production tier FD folders. The FD38X may step up throughput and specific feature set; the FD346 is the workhorse air-feed programmable folder for mixed shops.
Can the FD346 retrofit air-feed onto a friction-feed line?
The FD346 is a standalone air-feed folder — it doesn't retrofit air-feed onto a separate friction folder. For air-feed capability, the FD346 replaces the friction folder.
