*The P6400 is designed for folding 20lb and 24lb letter sized paper using either a letter fold or a half fold. This is an improvement over the P6200 which can only perform one folding pattern. However, larger more feature rich folding machines can handle other sizes and thicknesses of paper and can fold sheets into numerous other patterns. If you think you might need to fold thicker paper stocks, larger sheet sizes or produce other folding patterns then you might want to consider one of Martin Yale's larger Autofolding machines.
