Formax FD 386 Automatic Document Folder
The Formax FD 386 is a top-tier automatic paper folder designed to meet the demands of modern high-volume environments.

With its 4.3” full-color touchscreen, users can quickly access six pre-programmed standard folds and store up to 20 custom fold jobs. The automatic fold plate adjustment and paper length detection streamline setup, while the long conveyor stacker keeps folded output neat and organized.
Perfect for print shops, in-plants, and production offices, the FD 386 combines robust construction, intuitive controls, and gentle handling of delicate media for reliable, high-speed operation.
