Abstract
A folder for use in a variety of applications, being especially well suited for folding a sheet of overwrap around a stack of paper pulp sheets, includes three stationary folder sections and an extensible folding plate which performs the back tucking function. The plate is arranged to fold the back edge inwardly as the bale is moved along a conveyor line. After the rear edge has been folded inwardly, the bale slides past three stationary folder devices which in turn fold the front, bottom and top flaps of the overwrap. The folded package is then secured by conventional strapping techniques.
