Printers with desktop folders can provide most common types of folding for common
brochures, flyers, and newsletters. Some Commercial Printers may have bigger
units for handling cross-folding. Most printers have equipment to make common
folds using sheets as large as their largest presses. Trade binderies, on the
other hand, may have machines with six or eight folding stations to accommodate
complicated work.
