Intimus J1811 Padding Press Review
One of the most popular padding presses on the market today is the Martin Yale J1811. This user-friendly padding machine makes it easier than ever to handle small padding jobs; it is perfect for homes, offices, and schools.
The J1811 pad press is built for durability with metal construction, while its angled design ensures an even and square edge every time. The Intimus J1811 has a padding capacity of 5 ¾" H x 17 ¾" W sheets, and approximately 4,000 to 7,000 total sheets of 20# bond paper in a stack.
NCR and carbonless paper can also be bound using this padding press; to avoid marks on your carbonless paper, tighten the clamps slightly looser than you would with standard paper.
Measuring at just 19” x 11” x 13”, the J1811 padding machine can fit almost anywhere. In addition, this Padding Machine only weighs about 18 pounds, making it easily moved throughout the office. The Intimus J1811 pad press machine is user friendly and widely used by schools, churches, real estate offices, and more.

A Padding Press is used to bind loose pieces of paper together on one end with adhesive. You can see pads of paper created with padding presses all over the place; the yellow note pads popular in businesses, stationary, and more. Stacks of paper are placed in a large vice and are clamped into place. While in the padding machine, padding compound (glue) is applied by hand using a padding brush to the back edge of the paper stack. Once the bind is dry, the stack of paper is removed and can be cut down to size.
