Details & specifications
The Formax FD 38Xi is an air-feed paper folder built for the mid- to high-volume folding a busy commercial print shop runs every day. As an authorized Formax dealer, Mid-State Litho supplies the FD 38Xi with the delivery, installation, and operator training that keep a finishing investment productive from day one. It sits in the upper tier of Formax's tabletop air-feed FD line, a step up from the FD 386 and a more compact, lower-cost alternative to the floor-standing FD 3302 and ATLAS-AS. Air-feed handling makes it well suited to coated and difficult stocks that defeat friction feeders, and our factory-trained technicians install it, train your operators, and service it across Michigan and the Great Lakes. Financing is available, and you can request a quote from the page.
The Formax FD Air-Feed Folder Range
The FD 38Xi is easiest to place against its catalog siblings, all in the air-feed and folder family we stock:
| Model | Price | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| FD 346 | $4,046 | entry air-feed |
| FD 386 | $5,395 | mid tabletop |
| FD 38Xi | $6,025 | top tabletop air-feed |
| FD 3302 | $12,895 | floor-standing, higher volume |
| ATLAS-AS | $18,195 | production air-suction |
If you fold mostly uncoated stock at lower volume, the friction-feed FD 324 is a lower-cost alternative.
