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 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.

Annual waste reported by most printing companies
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.
"The quality of this creasing is comparable with that produced in letterpress printing"

Two-way creasing that tackles inside-fold toner flaking on particularly difficult digital stocks
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.
Tri-Creaser Advance Complete: For first-time users looking to introduce unbeatable creasing power to your folding machine. Contains all components needed to produce better defined creasing.
Tri-Creaser Advance Upgrade: For existing Tri-Creaser Easy-Fit or Fast-Fit users. Use your existing male components in combination with the Tri-Creaser Advance Female.
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
