Abstract: A folder superstructure of a web-fed printing press is disclosed. The folder superstructure having several formers positioned side by side, namely at least four formers positioned side by side laterally, where three formers are positioned such that a center former of these three formers is positioned in the center of the machine or in the center of undivided print substrate webs and the two outer formers of these three formers are positioned symmetrically to the center former. Partial webs of the print substrate webs separated by longitudinal cutting can be guided over each of these three formers with and/or without prior turning, and at least one further former is positioned laterally next to these three formers, over which partial webs of print substrate webs separated by longitudinal cutting can be guided exclusively with prior turning.
