This automatic friction feed paper folder is built for fast, repeatable folding with minimal setup time. It comes pre-programmed with 18 standard folds, stores up to 12 custom jobs, and uses an automatic 3-roller friction feed system to maintain consistent single-sheet feeding across varying paper weights. A color LED touchscreen, automatic paper-size sensing, and a test-fold function support quick verification and smooth production.

Where the 408A fits in the MBM folder line
The 408A sits in the middle of the MBM tabletop line. If you set folds by hand and want a lower price, the MBM 208J uses the same 3-roller friction feed with manual fold setup. One step up, the MBM 508A stores up to 24 jobs and raises the feed table automatically. For coated and digitally printed stock, the MBM 1800S moves to air suction feed and takes sheets up to 13 by 19 inches.
At 21 1/2 by 39 3/4 inches, the 408A fits on a bench or a cart, which puts it with our tabletop and letter folders. Its automatic friction feed also places it among our commercial and automatic folders. You can see the rest of the MBM range we carry on the brand page.
