Martin Yale 1812 Review – Not Too Small Not Too Big

Often times we find some paper folders are too much for our business needs, while others don’t carry enough speed, but with the Martin Yale 1812 you’ll get something in the middle. The 1812 series by Martin Yale pumps out over 12,000 folds per hour, it’s durable, and will last many years. From the standard letter fold to Gate folding or Church folds, there’s little that this equipment can’t handle.
