Dahle 10560 High Speed Letter Folder

For a small paper folder, the Dahle 10560 High Speed Letter Folder is one choice of many. This durable little machine is designed to be compact and lightweight but still offer quality performance. With a variety of fold styles and rapid fold speeds, this efficient device will increase productivity. Let's take a closer look at the pros and cons of the Dahle 10560.

Pros:

• This machine is designed to fit neatly atop a desk or table A desk stand and large metal catch basket are included for added functionality. At 21 pounds, it is still light enough for easy transport from one surface to another.

• Four different folds are produced by the manually adjusted fold plates. They include a single or half fold, the standard "C" trifold for letters, a "Z" fold often seen in bills, and a double parallel or engineering fold.

• Fold settings include a straight on and off switch as well as a continuous mode option. The motor is rated for up to 4000 sheets an hour, though this is not advised.

• This device can fold standard letter, A4, and legal size documents. The feed tray has a capacity of 50 sheets of 20lb bond paper, though it accepts as light as 16lb bond. An additional manual feed folds three loose or stapled sheets together at once.

• Dahle provides a 90 day warranty on this device.

Cons:

• This machine is rated for low volume use. Though the throughput can be as high as 4000 sheets per hour, it is recommended for only a few hundred folds per day for maximum longevity. That recommendation is based on a Monday through Friday work week and equals out to about 3200 folds per month. If your needs exceed this, we strongly recommend that you invest in a higher rated machine.

• Heavier items, such as cardstock or glossy paper, cannot be folded by this device. Many offices don't use large amounts of these items and won't be affected by this. However, if your company does need to fold high quantities of these mediums, there are paper folders available that offer that specific capability.

• Standard 8-1/2" x 11" paper is the smallest this machine can fold. Again, many offices only use that size paper and won't mind this limitation. Businesses needing a wider range of folding sizes will want to look into a higher model.

As you can see, the Dahle 10560 is best suited for the light duty needs of a small office. Small size with functional design offer an efficient way to fold a variety of items from fliers to brochures to letters. The increased productivity resulting from this machine will save your business time and money; eventually it will pay for itself. Churches, clubs, small businesses and schools would all benefit from this device. The Dahle 10560 High Speed Letter Folder is a great option for your next light use paper folder.
