About Baumfolder

Baumfolder builds paper folders and document-automation systems for commercial print and mailing shops.

Mid-State Litho is an authorized Baumfolder dealer and installs and services these systems. The same line includes the Baum 20 Series pile-feed folder, the Baum 20-CFF continuous feed folder, the Baum 20 Series 2nd station folder and the tabletop Baum 714XA AutoFold tabletop folder; see all Baumfolder equipment or browse the wider paper folders collection.
