Folding your correspondence, invoices, marketing information, and the like is time consuming and, yes, boring. If your company is spending a lot of time folding stuff, it s time to think about forking over some cash and buying a paper folding machine. Martin Yale produces some great paper folders and this article will introduce you to some of them so you ll be able to confidently buy one. Then you ll be able to stop spending so much time folding and start doing something more productive instead.
The Martin Yale Desktop Letter Folder is a small machine that can fit on your desktop right next to your computer or printer. This is a good machine to have if you fold a lot of short letters. The machine can fold 30 3 page letters per minute. It produces a letter fold (in other words, it folds the paper into thirds) so you can easily slip correspondence into standard #10 envelopes. This letter folder can handle staples, but it can only work with letter sized paper that s 20 to 24 lb. bond. This is a great machine that can be easily used by administrative assistants, receptionists, and anyone else who folds letters as part of his/her job. It can even be used at home, if you want.
