INTRODUCTION
Simple Operation: Just load your booklet and it is automatically jogged, stitched, folded, and discharged onto
an accumulating output conveyor. Side stitching, corner stitching, and folding projects, with or without stitching,
are easily accomplished.
Advanced Technology: StitchFold uses patented magnetic stitching head technology, providing the reliability
and economy of wire stitching. Dual sets of folding rollers assure consistent, professional results. For safety,
interlocked access guards prevent machine operation when open.
Improved Productivity: With StitchFold, you can jog, stitch, and fold more than 65,000 booklets at a maximum
speed of 2,300 finished booklets per hour - without stopping to reload staples. StitchFold's variable work
thickness capacity handles from 2 sheets to a one hundred page booklet with no setup changes or adjustments.
Lower Operating Costs: The StitchFold replaces expensive preformed staples with inexpensive bookbinding
wire; you save on material costs and nonproductive downtime.
