Folding is a central part of the print process in terms of both preparing materials for further finishing such as collating or binding, or finishing the product to its final size.
If you use print for marketing purposes, then a reasonable knowledge of folding options is extremely useful: understanding the possibilities can open the door to a wealth of new creative opportunities, enabling you to design your print in a way that delivers maximum interest and customer appeal.
You’ll probably be familiar with the most popular paper folds: parallel, concertina, letter, double parallel, gatefold, double gatefold, right angle and roll fold. But a wealth of other options are open to you as you’ll see if you download our paper folding guide.
Our folding machines – Heidelberg Stahlfolder KH56 and MBO K65 4KTL – deliver 32 page and 16 page folding capabilities respectively, both SRA2 sheet and down, and allow us to handle leaflets, brochures and magazines with print runs up to one million or more.
Digitally controlled set-up ensures fast turnaround and gives us total accuracy down to the very last millimetre, important for every job of course, but absolutely essential for creative folds and stepped folding. In fact these machines are so accurate that we can run two sheets at the same time, side by side!
As always, if you’re looking to get the best possible results, our advice is to talk to us first. The combination of skills, experience and technology that exists here at AB Print Group means we’re capable to meeting virtually any folding brief.

Not only do we have a full range of litho, digital and screen printing equipment, but we also offer all the finishing services you’d expect of a one stop shop print group, and one or two more besides. And we do it all in-house, which allows us to retain control of quality, turn things around extra quick when need be, and keep your costs as low as possible.
