Perfect Bound books are often judged by their cover. The Quad-Creaser replaces your OEM scoring mechanism to produce Letterpress quality creasing to the spine & hinge areas of your book covers.
This patented application uses specially formulated rubber & nylon creasing ribs that gently stretch the fibres—producing three times deeper crease applications to prevent print, coating and laminate from flaking away.
Request Free Trial →Your existing supplied OEM steel scoring modules are abrasive and create shallow indentations in the two spine & two hinge areas—often resulting in the flaking problem seen on finished books.
Two fatal flaws of OEM scoring:
The problem is compounded by opening and closing of the front cover, adding more stress to the hinge. Weak scores also affect bonding of glue to hinge flaps.
Specially formulated rubber creasing ribs gently manipulate and stretch the fibres in the cover material—so surface flaking is avoided.
No more gathering your covers to run through a separate Letterpress creasing machine. Quad-Creaser delivers letterpress-quality results inline.
Save time, labor costs, and logistics headaches
Pays for itself (on average) within the first 4 months of purchase. Eliminate waste from flaking, reduce reprints, bring outsourced work in-house.
Most binding operations see immediate quality improvements
Split creasing ribs easily insert into the locking collars—without removing shafts. Color-coded male/female system allows quick setup for all cover stock weights.
Enables 1 to 4 crease lines simultaneously
"We had to score thicker covers offline, and now we can do it inline. It has increased productivity, but it is more about the quality of the finished product. I would definitely put your product forward to other print houses."
"We were utterly amazed when we tried the adjustable version of the Quad Creaser. Not only does the system eliminate fibre-cracking, but it also minimises the reset force of the cover. The Quad Creaser has allowed Kosel to raise its own quality standards for bound products."
