Re: Paper Folding

2005-05-16 by Richard Orban

Small quantities?  We did the first 24,000 note cards with a "folding 
machine" I made by hinging two clipboards together.  The big clip on 
one of the clipboards holds the two ends together while the second 
clipboard is swung around on the hinge to create the crease.  Then 
a "bone folder" was used to flatten the crease and make it tight.

Then we got a Martin Yale 929 folding machine. $2400 well spent.
