Padding Presses
- Martin Yale J1811 Padding Press SKU: J1811 $229.00
A padding press clamps a stack of sheets so padding compound can be applied to the edge, producing tear-off pads — notepads, invoice pads, order books and forms.
It is a simple piece of equipment that turns a job most shops send out into one they can do in-house in minutes.

We stock the Martin Yale J1811 padding press, which handles standard pad sizes and suits print shops, copy centers and in-plant print rooms.
How to choose
- Pad size — Check the press capacity covers the largest pad you make.
- Stack height — Capacity determines how many pads you can produce in one clamping.
- Compound — Padding compound is a separate consumable — factor it into the running cost.
- Bench space — A press needs a stable surface and room to load and unload stacks.
Frequently asked questions
How does a padding press work?
You jog the sheets square, clamp the stack in the press so the edges are flush and under pressure, brush padding compound along the edge and let it dry. The compound bonds the edge while still allowing sheets to tear off cleanly.
What sizes of pad can the J1811 make?
Check the product page for exact capacity. It is sized for standard notepad and invoice pad formats.
Do you supply padding compound?
Contact us for current availability on padding compound and we will let you know what we can supply.
Do I need to jog the paper first?
Yes — the edge has to be perfectly flush or the compound will not bond evenly and pads will tear badly. A paper jogger before padding makes a visible difference.
