Folding machines are devices designed to automate the process of folding paper, cardboard, or other materials. They are commonly used in industries such as printing, packaging, and manufacturing to increase efficiency and reduce manual labor. These machines can handle various sizes and types of materials, allowing for precise and consistent folds. There are different types of folding machines, including manual folding machines and automatic folding machines. Manual machines require human operation, while automatic machines can perform multiple folds in a single pass. Many folding machines also offer adjustable settings to accommodate different folding styles, such as Z-folds or accordion folds.
