French term

règles de pliage à chaud

French to English Marketing Business/Commerce (general) Point of sale design company
I may have a few questions coming up... Talking about the production equipment of a company that designs stands and displays at points of sale.

Hot-bending rulers? Heat folding rulers?

I have no further context. This is simply a list of the equipment they have to create their displays.
Thanks, Mary

thermofolding machines

I would think this would be a simpler machine than one that moulds plastic into complex shapes. There's a difference between thermoforming and thermofolding.

I don't know where the "règle" fits in except that I would see this as the simplest type of machine where you just bend the plastic against a straight line (or rule). Can't find a picture of one that simple, though.

rules for plastification

Terrible word "plastification", but that's what we do on our machine to create marketing book marks. Paper enclosed in plastic.

Quite possibly the device shown here as Plieuse à fil chaud - Réf. 216 et Réf. 325 :

I suspect this is what Sheila refers to.

Otherwise there are also machines with built-in rules/rulers for precise shaping:
