An adjustable card folding station (100) includes an adjustable vacuum bed and movable gates (110a, 110b). The vacuum bed includes at least two sections (104a, 104b) that are movable with respect to each other to accommodate cards of different widths. Each section of the vacuum bed further includes multiple suction cups (120), each of which is individually connected to a vacuum supply. The vacuum supply independently controls each suction cup (120) so that vacuum can be applied to selected or all suction cups such that cards of different lengths can be accommodated. The movable gates (110a, 110b) are pivotally mounted with respect to the vacuum bed and operated by motors (130a, 130b) to pivot 180 degrees from open to closed positions to fold the cards.
