An apparatus for folding and packaging fibrous insulation batts. The apparatus comprises an unfolded batt conveyor assembly configured to move fibrous insulation batts in a machine path. The apparatus also includes a folding section. The folding section includes a folding blade and an actuator. The actuator is configured to move the folding blade along a blade path that intersects the machine path. The folding blade has a leading surface configured to contact and fold the fibrous insulation batts around the folding blade. The leading surface has a width and a length. The width of the leading surface is at least five inches. The width of the leading surface is sufficient to provide a c-shaped fold in the fibrous insulation batt. The c-shaped fold has an internal c-shaped fold width approximately equal to the width of the leading surface. A gripper assembly is configured to receive and move the folded fibrous insulation batts along the blade path that intersects the machine path. The gripper assembly is further configured to cooperate with a folded batt delivery assembly to move the folded insulation batts in the machine path. A packaging section is configured to receive and package the folded fibrous insulation batts.
