HX350 Wire Stitching Folding Machine Combines Flat Wire Stitching and Folding for Thinner Magazines Catalogs and Booklets

The Need for Integrated Stitching and Folding in Booklet Production
Producing thinner magazines, catalogs, and booklets requires two critical finishing steps – wire stitching and folding. Traditional workflows use separate machines for stitching and folding, requiring manual transfer between stations, increasing handling time and the risk of misalignment. The HX350 Wire Stitching Folding Machine solves this by combining both operations into one integrated system. Gather organized sheets in the correct sequence, send them to the stitching sets with auto feeder, and the machine handles the rest – flat wire stitching, spine folding, and final collection.

HX350 Wire Stitching Folding Machine

Auto Feeder and Two Stitching Heads for Efficient Production
The HX350 features an auto feeder that delivers gathered sheets to the stitching sets in the correct sequence, ensuring consistent, accurate production. The machine is equipped with two stitching heads for flat wire stitching, providing reliable, secure binding for thinner publications. With a binding speed of 2500-3000 times per minute, the HX350 delivers high throughput for commercial print operations. The wire cross section is 1.5mm, and the machine handles binding thicknesses from 0.2mm to 13mm and stitching paper pages from 2 to 30 pages (×80gsm) – covering the most common specifications for thinner magazines, catalogs, and booklets.

Integrated Folding to Create the Spine
After flat wire stitching, the HX350 automatically folds the stitched sheets to create the spine – a critical step that transforms flat stitched sheets into finished, professional booklets. The machine handles folding thickness up to 3mm and accommodates paper weights from 55gsm to 250gsm, with a maximum of 30 pages (×80gsm) per fold. This integrated folding capability eliminates the need for a separate folding machine, saving floor space and reducing handling time. The result is a consistently folded spine that gives booklets a professional, finished appearance.

Automatic Collection and Delivery
The HX350 completes the production workflow with automatic collection and delivery of the final product. Finished booklets are collected and delivered neatly, ready for packaging or further processing – with no manual sorting or stacking required. This end‑to‑end automation allows a single operator to manage the entire production process, from gathered sheets to finished, folded booklets. The machine's compact footprint of 2600×700×750mm makes it suitable for print shops and binderies with limited floor space.
