Details & specifications
Formax FD 314 Paper Folder
The Formax FD 314 is a friction-feed desktop paper folder built for low-volume office and light print-shop folding. It uses manual fold-plate setup, so an operator dials in the fold and runs the job without a programmable console. It folds letter, statement, and invoice stacks for mailers, statements, and church or school bulletins, the everyday folding a small in-plant handles. Mid-State Litho sells the FD 314 as an authorized Formax dealer and has installed and serviced folding equipment across Michigan and the Great Lakes since 1984. We deliver and set it up and train your operators, and our factory-trained technicians keep it running.

How to choose a desktop paper folder
- Manual vs automatic fold setup. The FD 314 is manual fold-plate setup, which is fine for a few repeated fold jobs. A shop changing fold types all day should move up to an automatic or programmable Formax.
- Feed type: friction vs air. The FD 314 is friction feed, which suits standard office bond. Coated or glossy digital stock double-feeds on friction and wants an air-feed folder.
- Volume. This is a low-volume office folder. Daily production runs justify a heavier folder.
- Drop-ship vs stocked. The FD 314 drop-ships from Formax (1-2 weeks). Plan lead time into the job.
