Finishing equipment manufacturer Encore Machinery has launched the Easy Fold folder.

　　Manufactured in Italy by the Bacciottini Group, the Easy Fold can be used alongside its Pit Stop range of creasing and perforating machines.

　　Encore Machinery managing director Mike Biggs said the machine was "fully flexible" and required minimal operator intervention.

　　He said: "It is the only system on the market that can fold and crease paper and board from 120gsm up to 600gsm without distortion or cracking of the spine fibres."
