Fanfold Paper Folding Machines

Fanfold Kraft Paper Folding Machine with C type Folding inline

The SD-PF800A converts two reels of kraft paper into fanfolded cushioning sheets with a C-type fold in a single inline process. It feeds two kraft paper reels, forms a two-layer structure with a C-fold, performs perforation cutting, and delivers the finished fanfolded sheets onto a conveyor. This allows packaging producers to make their own fanfold paper for use as a protective cushioning material without relying on external suppliers.

  • Produces fanfolded paper with a C-type fold that has stronger surface strength for protective packaging
  • Two-reel feeding and inline C-fold formation create a double-layer structure in one process
  • Perforation cutting and folding happen inline, so no separate machine is needed
  • Delivers finished fanfold sheets directly to a conveyor for stacking or downstream integration
  • Enables in-house production of fanfold paper, reducing dependency on external suppliers
Problems It Solves

Why Buyers Choose It

  • Plastic foam inserts are being restricted or rejected by end customers in export markets
  • Buying finished fanfold paper from suppliers adds a margin and long replenishment lead times
  • Manual folding of kraft paper is slow and inconsistent compared to inline automation
  • Lack of a reliable inline C-fold and perforation system requires multiple machines
  • Inconsistent stack height or fold alignment causes issues in downstream packaging
Who It Is For

Who Runs This Machine

  • Packaging converters that already use kraft paper reels and want to add fanfold cushioning
  • Fulfilment centres needing consistent fanfold paper for automated packing lines
  • Paper mills and slitting houses expanding their product range with folded paper
  • Packaging producers supplying fanfold paper to appliance or electronics manufacturers
Application

Where This Machine Is Used

  • Protective packaging producers making fanfold paper for use in e-commerce fulfilment centres
  • Packers using fanfold paper to cushion electronics, appliances, and fragile goods during transit
  • Paper converters adding a value-added folding and perforating step to kraft paper reels
  • 3PL operators integrating fanfold paper into automated packaging lines for consistent output
  • Manufacturers replacing plastic foam inserts with a paper-based fanfold cushioning solution

Process

How The Machine Runs

Step 1Load two kraft paper reels onto the 3 inch inflatable air shafts
Step 2Feed both reels into the machine with synchronized tension control
Step 3Form a C-type fold to create a two-layer structure
Step 4Perform inline perforation cutting to create tear lines
Step 5Fold the paper into fanfold format

Materials

  • Kraft paper reels from 70 to 100 gsm
  • Two separate kraft paper reels fed simultaneously
  • Optional soft white paper backing layer for laminated fanfold liner
  • Perforation-ready paper stock for clean tear lines

Quality Control

  • Web guide system maintains alignment across the full 800 mm width
  • Magnetic powder brake and clutch ensure consistent tension during folding
  • Folding and cutting units are checked for alignment before shipment
  • Test runs are conducted with customer-provided paper before delivery
  • Conveyor system is calibrated to ensure even stacking and no paper jams

Customisation

  • Folding pattern can be adjusted for different fanfold angles or spacing
  • Perforation pitch and depth can be modified to match customer tear requirements
  • Power supply can be built to the voltage and frequency of the destination country
  • Conveyor height and length can be adjusted for integration with existing lines
  • Optional roll-to-sheet cutting unit can be added for downstream processing

Certifications

  • ISO9001:2000 certificate obtained in 2005
  • CE certificate obtained in 2006
Comparison

How It Compares

Buying finished fanfold paper rollsIn-house production removes the supplier margin but requires investment in kraft reel inventory and machine operation
Manual folding and cuttingThe inline machine is faster and more consistent, reducing labour and variability in fold quality
Single-reel folding machinesThis machine uses two reels to create a double-layer C-fold, which provides stronger surface strength
Use Guide

Running It On Your Floor

  1. Load two kraft paper reels onto the inflatable air shafts, ensuring they are balanced
  2. Set the desired fold spacing and perforation pitch on the control panel before starting
  3. Start at low speed to verify web tracking and fold alignment
  4. Adjust the web guide and tension settings if the paper drifts or wrinkles
  5. Monitor the first few fanfold sheets to confirm clean perforation and consistent folding
FAQ
