Techko LF282N Paper Folding Machine

If you're in the market for a small, occasional use paper folder, then the Techko LF282N could be right for you. Built for light duty use in a home or small office, the LF282N offers the convenience of a paper folder without the bulk of a large machine. Its compact design and small capacity make it perfect for anyone desiring the luxury of a paper folder without the need of a high volume device. Let's take a closer look at this paper folder.

Pros:

• The petite dimensions of this machine allow it to store tidily on your desk or a table for easy, out-of-the-way access. The feed tray collapses when not in use, saving even more space. And the entire device only weighs 10 pounds, so moving it won't be a problem.

• Up to five sheets of 20 pound bond paper can be manually fed into this folder at once. It also can accept stapled documents up to three sheets thick. A visual paper guide helps to ensure proper alignment so your items don't come out crooked. A page counter is available on this machine to help you keep track of how many sheets you've folded.

• Paper sizes accepted are as small as 3" x 11" and as large as letter and A4 sized items. All documents are folded into a "C" fold, the standard trifold for letters. Finished items will fit perfectly into standard sized envelopes.

• The recommended duty cycle for this machine is 400 folds per month. This is perfect for home office use, administrative professionals, mail rooms, and schools with light folding needs.

• A one year manufacturer's warranty covers this paper folder.

Cons:

• This folder has non-adjustable folding plates and therefore can only do one fold style. For those that only need to fold letters, this is perfect. But if you want the option of multiple fold choices, an upgrade to a different model might be the way to go.

• The five sheet capacity has to be manually fed. For occasional office use, this may be fine. But it is time consuming and tedious to hand feed higher quantities of documents into a low volume shredder. If you foresee your folding needs to exceed around 400 folds per month, a larger model will be better for your office.

• Legal size documents are too long for this machine. If your office doesn't use legal size paper, this won't affect you. Offices that often need to fold the longer, legal size paper should look for a machine that can accommodate a wider variety of sizes.

Recommendation:

The Techko LF282N is a very basic folder and as such is ideal for those with light folding needs. It would be perfect on a secretary's desk or in a home office for the occasional letter folding. But mass mailings should not go through this machine. For the convenience of a desktop paper folder, this one is a great purchase, especially since it won't set you back that much with a price tag of under $100. The Techko LF282N is perfect for your next light duty table top paper folder.
