Folding and line stamping
Folding
 
(1)  To avoid electrostatic problems, maintain the relative humidity around machines at a minimum of 50%, and use equipment to remove electrostatic charges.
(2) YUPO® FGS95 is the most suitable grade for machine folding.
(3) Run the final fold parallel with the grain.
(4) Be aware of the following for folding machines and calibrations:
  • Use the highest precision machines possible.
  • Use rubber-steel combination rollers.
  • It is critical to use non-abrasive rollers.
  • Adjust the roll pressure to the maximum setting.
  • Set the feeder at a precise right angle to the rolls.
(5) Use equipment for ejecting paper in the delivery area. Work is difficult with belt systems.
(6) We recommend 8-page folds. When performing 16-page folds, prior testing is recommended. (YUPO® up to 130 microns is suitable for folding.)
(7) Airtight pouch-type folds (e.g., 32-page folds) are difficult using YUPO®.
(8) After the paper has been discharged at delivery, there will be a tendency for YUPO® products to unfold, but the folds will remain if pressure is applied for several hours using rubber bands, string or applying weight.
(9) ALPHAYUPO® can splits easily, so do not fold it at right-angles to the grain. Fold after carrying out line stamping by heat in the direction of the grain beforehand.

Line stamping
 
(1)  When folding thick grades of YUPO®, it is effective to the folding by hand after carrying out line stamping.
(2) Line-stamping machines that apply heat and pressure at a higher rate than norm are the most effective.
