Tool families/Section-Scorer
A score three times deeper than your OEM tools — for folding that's 100% consistent, signature after signature.
The Section Score is a three-times-deeper, multi-setting scoring device that replaces the steel scoring tools supplied as standard with your folding machine. Eight score settings of varying width and depth — all colour-coded — make accurate, consistent folding effortless, from 8- to 64-page signatures right through to everyday work.
Deep, accurate scoring for 8-, 16-, 32- and 64-page signature and section work — and, increasingly, for everyday folding across a full range of media.
The problem
The problem we solve
With OEM scoring tools, setting often becomes a guessing game for frustrated operators fighting to get a score deep enough to keep folding consistent. The two most common problems they face are preventing the front edge of the sheet from tearing, and having to settle for a weaker score than the job really needs.
The factory method
The Section-Scorer wayWhy the OEM way fails
Why the standard factory method falls short
Your OEM scoring tools are critically flawed and have not evolved to keep pace with folding-machine technology — they retain the same destructive elements they had when they were first developed back in 1850. The Section Score replaces them with a modern, three-times-deeper scoring system designed for today's machines and stocks.
Independently researched
A simple test tells you if your OEM scoring is doing its job: if you cannot fold the scored product easily by hand, it will affect fold quality and consistency through the folding machine. The Section Score is the only rotary device that produces a score deep enough to fold the product perfectly by hand — which means your folding machine's buckle plate or knife unit always registers on the score, aiding 100% fold consistency.
How it works
How the Section-Scorer works
Eight female channels create the score widths needed across the full range of folded media, while four colour-coded scoring ribs of various sizes dictate the depth of score according to the stock being processed. The scoring rings are split, so the male hub simply opens and closes to lock them securely in place — giving a score up to three times deeper than an OEM tool. The scoring ribs themselves are made from a hard plastic compound, specifically to drive the score deeper than a steel OEM tool ever could.
Eight in-built score settings of varying widths and depths are all quick and easy to select thanks to the colour-coding system. Four colour-coded ribs match the depth to your stock, and the male/female colour coding means even inexperienced operators become instant scoring experts — it takes the guesswork away entirely.

Applies a score three times deeper than OEM scoring tools — enough to fold heavy and signature stock cleanly and reliably.
Folding is always 100% consistent with the score — the deep, well-defined score guides every sheet to fold exactly on the line.
Reduces fold wrinkles (crow's feet) — the cause of so many rejected signatures — for a clean, professional fold.
Fast, foolproof set-up — the split scoring ribs insert quickly into the male hub and the colour-coding system removes operator guesswork, saving time and improving productivity.
Everyday versatility — excellent for signature work from 8-page to bulky 64-page formats, and equally at home on everyday jobs such as leaflets, menus and broadsheets.

What printers say
“When a new creasing tool was needed for the cover feeder of our Muller Martini binding machine, we turned to Tech-ni-Fold. We were utterly amazed when we tried the adjustable version of the Quad Creaser — it had colour-coded ribs that corresponded to different crease styles, and it further improved the quality of covers using our own special side-gluing "spineless" method. Not only does the system eliminate fibre-cracking, it also minimises the reset force of the cover. The Quad Creaser has allowed Kosel to raise its own quality standards for bound products.”
“We installed your Quad-Creaser system into 3 of our binding lines after seeing it at a book show. The OEM scoring system has a swap time of around 4 hours for a single engineer, whereas your system can have a full change in under 10 minutes once installed. As your creasing rings last around 800,000 covers, that's one change per month — and the change is now an operator task with rings held in stock, rather than ordering OEM parts and waiting for an engineer. We change from 2-score to 4-score several times a day, and your system does it in half the time of the OEM system.”
