Description
About the Formax FD 386
The Formax FD 386 is a document folder with automatic setting and a touchscreen control panel, built for offices and mailrooms that fold letters, invoices, statements, and newsletters week in and week out. Automatic setting takes the fiddly part of folding off the operator: choose the job from the touchscreen and let the machine configure itself, rather than adjusting settings by hand and burning test sheets.
In the mail workflow, the FD 386 sits between the printer and whatever comes next — hand-stuffing envelopes, an inserter, or a tabber for self-mailers. Anyone folding by hand today is losing hours to a task this machine handles in minutes, which is why the FD 386 suits billing departments, schools, churches, and any office where the monthly mailing is a dreaded afternoon instead of a quick job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "automatic" mean on the FD 386?
The fold plates position themselves — touch one of 18 pre-programmed folds (or one of 27 stored custom folds) on the color touchscreen and the machine sets itself. It folds 500 sheets in as fast as 2 minutes.
How is the FD 386 different from the FD 38Xi?
Same speed and footprint; the FD 38Xi adds a DEDICATED multi-sheet feeder as standard (optional on the 386), stores 36 custom folds vs 27, and features fully-automated AutoStack stacker wheels.
Can it feed stapled sets?
Yes, with the optional multi-sheet feeder — up to 4 stapled or unstapled sheets fold at once.
Is installation available?
On-site delivery, installation and operator training are available nationwide. Call 866-430-2874.
