What we solve

The scoring and perforating tooling a folder leaves the factory with is built to be adequate across everything. These are the jobs where adequate shows.

Eliminate fibre crackingCracked colour on the fold, on digital, coated or cross-grain stock. The steel score that causes it, and what replaces it in minutes.True micro-perforationRagged bursts, paper dust, stacks that will not lie flat. The coarse perf wheel that causes it, and the blade that replaces it in minutes.Guillotine-quality cuttingFuzzy, dusty edges and a second pass at the guillotine. The crush-cut slitters that cause it, and the scissor-action tool that replaces them in minutes.Section scores that holdSections that spring open, gusset at the head and fight the stitcher. The barely-there steel score that causes it, and the deep, defined score that replaces it.Pharma leaflet scoringTorn scores and wrinkled folds on thin, highly-folded leaflet work. The abrasive steel score that causes it, and the six-setting pharma score that replaces it.Book cover creasingSpine and hinge creases in one pass, in register, without cracking. The cover work you send out, done on the folder you already run.Close-proximity finishingCrease beside cut, crease beside perf, cut beside perf, or doubles of any of them. One housing, six set-ups, no letterpress bill.Crease with perfs both sidesThe perf-crease-perf pattern for stubs and tear-offs, packed into millimetres, in one pass. The specialist tool for work that otherwise goes to letterpress.

Covers crack, laminate lifts, and the crease you get is the one crease the machine makes. All three come from the same metal scoring station.

Eliminate fibre crackingWhite cracked spines and hinges on solid colour and digital covers. The steel scoring collars that cause it, and the pressed creases that replace them.Eliminate laminate liftingFilm that silvers and peels along the spine and hinges of laminated covers. The steel scores that break the bond, and the pressed creases that keep it.The right crease, every jobOne machined steel profile for every job, forever. Or spine, hinges, depth and firmness as settings, changed in seconds per job.

A spine that cracks on the fold, or signatures that need a delicate weight-matched crease before they are sewn.

Eliminate fibre crackingWhite cracked spines on stitched work, straight through the colour. The single metal score that causes it, and the pressed crease that takes its place.Signature creasing, by sheet weightA crease deep enough to hold the fold and gentle enough for light, porous signatures. Three colour-coded ribs instead of one fixed metal profile.

Creasers, bookletmakers and multi-finishers — including turning a matrix creaser into a machine that also perforates, cuts and folds.

Full speed, every finishThe matrix stops the sheet for every line it strikes. Rotary tools on your exit shafts never stop: creases and micro-perfs at full speed, in both directions in one pass.An old Morgana, back to workWorn matrix, working feeder: retro-fit the exit shafts and an idle machine becomes a full-speed rotary finisher for a fraction of the price of new.Add folding to this machinePerfect creases, flat sheets, hand-folding after. The Card Folder couples behind your creaser and folds on the crease, up to 350gsm, five fold types.

Creasing and perforating at full web speed, in the machine direction, without slowing the line.

Machine-direction creasingCrease down the web at full press speed. No offline pass, no rotary die registration risk, no slowing the line for finishing.Micro-perforation on the webTear-off work perforated down the web, flat enough to keep processing and clean enough to tear by hand. Ten pitches, inline, no speed loss.Every finish, one cassetteCrease, score, perforate, cut and kiss-cut in any combination across the web. One retro-fitted cassette, reconfigured per job.

No specific problem listed for your machine? If it has rotary shafts of any description, our tooling can replace what is on them.

Rotary creasing on your shaftsIf your machine has tooling shafts, we can put proper creasing on them: crack-free, colour-coded profiles, chosen per job, at full running speed.Rotary micro-perf on your shaftsTear-offs, coupons and reply forms, perforated inline. Ten blade pitches from coarse tear to a line that looks printed, on the shafts you already have.Rotary cutting on your shaftsSlits, edge trims, cut-outs and kiss cuts, inline. A true scissor shear against a hardened boss, on the shafts you already have.

We design, engineer and manufacture tooling to order, including for the machine builders themselves.

Custom & OEM toolingA part that is obsolete, impossible to source, or never existed. If it is a wheel, a blade, a rib or a holder that touches paper or board, we can probably make it.
