T490 The T490 is a high-speed Semi-automatic buckle paper folding machine for commercial post-press production, delivering precision folding for leaflets, brochures, instruction manuals and pharmaceutical package inserts.
T490/20-buckle Industrial-grade 20-plate buckle folding system with semi-automatic manual feeding, 180m/min high-speed operation, 490×1000mm maximum sheet size. Supports multiple conventional fold patterns for professional brochure, leaflet, flyer and instruction sheet production.
T490/4-buckle The T490 4-buckle semi-automatic folding machine is a cost-effective industrial entry-level buckle folder, ideal for small-batch production of leaflets, flyers and instruction sheets.
Folded to carton-insert size from 40–120 gsm pharma paper; the highest-volume pharmaceutical folding job.
Patient information leaflets must fit the carton while retaining readable multi-panel copy. Miniature sheet handling, repeatable fold position and counted delivery are the main production checks.
The T490 and T520 cover leaflet folding. Confirm the pattern on the actual stock, then specify any required knife, pressing, sealing and delivery modules against the finished sample and packaging process.
Parallel, roll and gate folds in 100–200 gsm stock, folded square enough to stack flat.
Commercial print shops alternate between brochure, catalogue and mailer formats. Fold-pattern coverage and changeover time therefore matter alongside running speed.
T490, T600 and T780 configurations cover different sheet formats. Round-pile feeding can support longer runs on compatible T600 and T780 lines. Match the plate set and feeder to the real job mix.
Leaflets and promotional inserts folded to carton size, packed by automatic equipment.
Carton inserts and promotional leaflets are folded to a finished size that downstream equipment can pick up consistently. Square edges and flat stacks may be needed for automatic packing.
Select the folding platform around the carton insert and printed stock. Review any knife or pressing step separately and confirm module envelopes and interfaces for the ordered line.
Parallel and cross folds for section-sewn and perfect-bound work.
Publishing signatures require stable register through parallel and cross folds so sections collate and bind cleanly.
T600 and T780 configurations address different sheet formats. A compatible round-pile feeder can reduce stops on long batches. Set the fold pattern and feeder against the actual signature stock.
