Know When To Fold Them

Bill Hudson, branch director of printing for the Mississippi Department of Transportation Print Shop, which has nine employees in two locations and an annual budget of $1.1 million, is also looking to keep more folding work in-house after installing an MBO B21 folding machine in May 2003.

"The most common items that we print and fold are letters, brochures, newsletters and magazines, normally requiring single folds or three parallel folds at the most," says Hudson. "But prior to installing our new folding machine, we only had the ability to produce simple folds." He expects more challenging jobs now that his shop no longer needs to outsource fancy folding.
