A folio sheeter or folio-size sheeter, large format sheeter or just sheeter, is a machine that cuts web of paper or board from a reel (or multiple reels) into large sheets, then overlapping and piling them on a stack. The transversal cut for the length of the sheet is done by a rotary knife. If needed, the web is also cut longitudinally by a slitting knife, defining the width of the sheet. The end product of an folio sheeter is a stack of sheets on a pallet, with sizes/formats usually larger than A3 or 11 in x 17 in. Depending on the grammage, the sheets are typically used for offset or digital printing application like commercial printing, posters or the folding carton industry.
