‘Baby BAUM’ Raises the Bar for Tabletop Folders
The new Baumfolder 714XA AutoFold, affectionately nicknamed the “Baby BAUM,” is an automated tabletop folder to be reckoned with. I saw it live on the show floor at GRAPH EXPO and was pretty surprised at its hi-tech functionality, and its ability to make fast and tidy gatefolds, tri-folds, double parallels and accordions.
