| We process 120 sheets at a time. Here they are in stacks of 25 and one with 20 This is how they look when they arrive from the Faultless Laundry | Each sheet has to be re folded so as to maximize it for the ripper. After folding there will be 8 layers about 10 inches wide. | The folds are checked to insure the alignment of the folds is correct The the ends are squared and sides are cut to conform to the eight layers. | ||||
