Details & specifications
Overview
The Formax FD 346 is a desktop air-feed paper folder for print shops, in-plant production departments, and mailrooms that fold letters, statements, brochures, and booklets every day. It runs a touchscreen control panel with manual fold settings, so an operator dials in the fold and runs the job without guesswork. Mid-State Litho is an authorized Formax dealer and has sold and serviced Formax folding and mailing equipment across Michigan and the Great Lakes for 50 years. This is not a drop-ship: our factory-trained technicians deliver the FD 346, set it up on your floor, train your operators, and back it with same-day and next-day service. The FD 346 ships by truck freight, FOB with a lift gate, in 1-2 weeks. Ask us about lease and purchase financing.

How to choose a paper folder
- Feed type: friction vs air-feed. Air-feed pulls the top sheet with suction, which handles coated and digital stock that friction rollers can slip on. The FD 346 is air-feed.
- Fold setup: manual vs programmed. The FD 346 uses a touchscreen with manual fold settings; higher-volume Formax models add stored programs and auto-setup.
- Volume and duty. Match the folder to daily sheet count; a desktop folder fits a print shop or mailroom, not a continuous high-volume line.
- Service and support. A folder is only as good as the dealer behind it. MSL installs, trains, and services Formax across Michigan and the Great Lakes.
