Tri-Creaser
Totally Eliminates Fiber Cracking

The revolutionary rotary creasing solution that completely eliminates fiber cracking on all popular types of folding machines.

The resilient rubber compound penetrates the area prone to cracking with gentle rotary action—manipulating and stretching the fibres instead of damaging them like common steel scoring methods. Results equal to letterpress quality.

The Problem

You're Leaving Money on the Table Every Single Day

The customer wants the job in a hurry. You rush it through in record time. Perfect colors, tight registration. Then you fold it... and the material cracks along the spine.

You promised the job today. Now what?

Your OEM scoring tools are critically flawed.

They haven't evolved since 1850. They use a V-shaped steel blade that pushes fibres from the inside, causing spine damage. When used for creasing single cover stock, the steel is too harsh and destroys the fibres.

The Tri-Creaser works the opposite way—gently stretching the fibres from the outside, resulting in a smooth non-cracked spine and a perfect inside ridge.

The Cost of Traditional Scoring

  • Jobs crack on the fold—forcing expensive reprints
  • Send jobs to cylinder (if you have one)—or outsource and wait
  • 30+ minutes per setup adjusting crease settings
  • Turning down premium work (laminated, UV, heavy stocks)
  • Losing jobs to competitors with better gear

Patented Technology

The Tri-Creaser Method

Traditional Scoring

  • V-shaped steel blade concentrates pressure
  • Crushes and destroys paper fibers
  • Shallow penetration = weak crease
  • Toner flaking on digital stocks
  • Technology unchanged since 1850

Tri-Creaser Method

  • U-shaped rubber rib spreads pressure
  • Compresses fibers without breaking them
  • Penetrates 3x deeper without damage
  • Rubber is "digital friendly" - no flaking
  • Patented technology, proven worldwide

Graham Harris's Discovery

Founder Graham Harris tested the 5 leading scoring devices worldwide before inventing Tri-Creaser. The breakthrough: crease on the TOP (outside) so the bulge is visible on the INSIDE after folding. This "reverse crease" method matched the proven Heidelberg Cylinder letterpress technique—achieving quality that rotary scoring was thought impossible to deliver.

Industry Recognition

Proven Performance. Globally Validated.

Digital Stock Upgrade

Tri-Creaser Advance

Two-way creasing that tackles inside-fold toner flaking on particularly difficult digital stocks

The Inside-Fold Toner Flaking Problem

With changing paper manufacturing processes and paper quality standards, "inside-fold toner flaking" is a growing problem regardless of what creasing technology is applied.

The Tri-Creaser Advance is the world's first folding machine solution designed to prevent fiber-cracking on the fold AND tackle inside-fold toner flaking at the same time.

How Advance Works

  • 1.Two-way creasing application using interlocking male and female components
  • 2.U-shaped crease formed first, then main fold is placed on top of it
  • 3.Areas prone to toner flaking are ironed out using specially profiled female ring
  • 4.Simple color-coding maintained—still uses orange, blue, yellow system

ROI That Speaks for Itself

"We purchased the Tri-Creaser Easy Fit in August and it has only taken us four weeks to recover our investment. Now that we know the system works so well we estimate that it may save us £20,000 in the next 12 months."

"The savings we made by not having to send out for scoring paid for our Tri-creaser on the first job!"

Bob Humphrys
Wessex Binding Services, Wimbourne

"We had a difficult job with bleeds on both sides and the grain going the wrong way, the outside looked great but the inside was cracking. We just got a new Tri-Creaser Advance in and after a little trial and error, both sides looked great. We only had 1, the next day I ordered 2 more. We delivered that job on time and it saved us from getting a letterpress score and missing a deadline."

Jim Navulis
Haapanen Brothers, Illinois, USA

"We have used the Tech-ni-Fold Tri-Creaser in-line on our folders for a number of years, it is a very quick system to make ready and the results are equal to a cylinder crease. Because we can crease in-line, we are able to achieve speeds of up to 30k sheets per hour on our Heidelberg Stahl folders, eliminating all cracking across a multitude of stock types."

Jake Whitford
Pepper Communications Ltd

"We run a 300gsm silk job for a perfume brand. The job is laminated on the outside but not on the inside. The Tri-Creaser Advance gives a beautiful square crease result on the inside of the fold by producing a deeper impression. The Tri-Creaser Advance is an improvement even on previous versions."
