Methods and apparatuses for manufacturing products having custom graphic designed are disclosed. A method may comprise printing a first order identifier graphic on a substrate material, the first order identifier graphic associated with a first order for a first set of products, printing a first set of one or more graphic designs on the material, the first set of one or more graphic designs associated with the first order, and combining the material with one or more product components to form a first set of products, each of the first set of products being associated with the first customer order and at least one of the products of the first set of products comprising the first order identifier graphic. The method may further comprise packaging the first set of products in a first package wherein the first order identifier graphic is visible through the first package.

The invention relates to a folding machine for paper and soft folding material, comprising a supporting frame (1), in which a rotary bearing (2) is rotatably mounted, the rotary bearing containing mutually parallel rotatable working rolls (17, 18, 19), wherein: a pressing device (6) for pressing the paper (39) onto positions of the rotary bearing (2) is provided, and an outer control element (7) which is rotated conjointly with the rotary bearing is provided: the pressing device (6) is mounted in an opening flap (26) and is formed by two profiled elements (28, 36), which are controlled by the outer control element (7); the first profiled element (28) receives and transports the paper (39) in cooperation with a first working roll (17), and the second profiled element (36) leads the paper (39), in contact with a first working roll (17) and a third working roll (19) running oppositely to each other, to a folding gap (44); and a pivoting nose (20), which is rotated conjointly with the rotary bearing (2) and is positively controlled by means of an inner control element (11), is provided for a second folding of the paper (39) in a second folding gap (45) between the first working roll (17) and the second working roll (18).

A folding roller for use in a folding device for folding a fold is disclosed. At the folding device a substrate to be folded is pushed into an inlet roller nip of folding rollers rotating in opposite directions by a folding knife for forming a fold. The folded-away substrate is transferred from the folding rollers to a belt line guided about the folding rollers and consisting of transport belts for the purpose of onward transporting the folded product. The folding roller in the regions in axial extension in which at least one transport belt at least partially wraps the folding roller includes at least one rubber-elastic insert.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveyance roller pair that rotates in a certain direction to convey a sheet, a first normal-reverse rotation roller pair that is capable of rotating in a normal direction and a reverse direction and rotates to convey the sheet, a first driver that drives the first normal-reverse rotation roller pair to rotate, and a first driving force transmitter that transmits a driving force of the first driver for rotating the first normal-reverse rotation roller pair in a first specific direction to the conveyance roller pair so as to rotate the conveyance roller pair in the certain direction, and blocks a driving force of the first driver for rotating the first normal-reverse rotation roller pair in the direction opposite to the first specific direction from being transmitted to the conveyance roller pair.

The invention relates to a folding machine for paper and soft folding material, comprising a supporting frame (1), in which a rotary bearing (2) is rotatably mounted, the rotary bearing containing mutually parallel rotatable working rolls (17, 18, 19), wherein: a pressing device (6) for pressing the paper (39) onto positions of the rotary bearing (2) is provided, and an outer control element (7) which is rotated conjointly with the rotary bearing is provided: the pressing device (6) is mounted in an opening flap (26) and is formed by two profiled elements (28, 36), which are controlled by the outer control element (7); the first profiled element (28) receives and transports the paper (39) in cooperation with a first working roll (17), and the second profiled element (36) leads the paper (39), in contact with a first working roll (17) and a third working roll (19) running oppositely to each other, to a folding gap (44); and a pivoting nose (20), which is rotated conjointly with the rotary bearing (2) and is positively controlled by means of an inner control element (11), is provided for a second folding of the paper (39) in a second folding gap (45) between the first working roll (17) and the second working roll (18).
