A sheet processing apparatus includes a stacking portion on which sheets targeted for sheet processing are stacked. In the apparatus, a control unit generates, in a buffer section provided in a conveyance path for conveying sheets to the stacking portion, a sheet bundle in which positions of sheets conveyed on the conveyance path are shifted in sequence to an upstream side in a conveyance direction and overlapped. An alignment unit performs alignment processing in the conveyance direction on the sheet bundle stacked on the stacking portion. A processing unit performs sheet processing on the sheet bundle on which the alignment processing has been performed. The control unit controls shift amounts of the positions of the sheets when the sheets are overlapped in the buffer section in sequence, according to sizes of the sheets conveyed on the conveyance path.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet processing unit, a sheet feeder, and a unit cover. The sheet processing unit inserts an inner sheet into a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlapped and bonded together at one ends as a bonding portion. The sheet feeder is disposed above the sheet processing unit and is movable to open to expose the sheet processing unit. The sheet feeder feeds one of the two-ply sheet and the inner sheet. The unit cover is disposed above the sheet processing unit and opens to expose the sheet processing unit.
