Abstract

A paper web folder for a rotary web-fed press uses two laterally shiftable formers and folding roller pairs on a first level and a stationary former and folder on a second level to provide the capability of forming and folding various full width paper webs into two or three equal part web width ribbons. These ribbons can then be associated with each other to form various products.
