A folding apparatus that permits the production of a wide range of folded products at a relatively low cost and requires a minimal amount of space is provided. The folding apparatus includes a main former for receiving webs up to the maximum web width and a smaller former for receiving webs of up to approximately one-half of the maximum web width. The main former includes a main former nose and the smaller former includes a smaller former nose. The main and smaller formers are arranged such that the main former nose and the smaller former nose lie substantially in a common perpendicular plane when viewed from a side of the folding apparatus such that a partial web stream emerging from the main former and a partial web stream emerging from the smaller former can undergo further processing almost congruently after folding.
