About the Crease
A crease stops the paper and printed image of a document from cracking when it is folded.
The crease is made when a sheet of paper is compressed between the two parts of a
mechanism known as a blade set. The blade set uses an ANVIL and a BLADE to form
1
the crease. A powerful motor operates the blade set so that it can put a large amount of
pressure on the paper. This pressure compresses the substrate and printed image, which
makes the paper thin and weak along the edges of the crease. This allows the paper to
fold accurately along the crease.
The Quick Release Blade Set (optional) can crease and or perforate (optional) sheets
accurately at a rate of 8,500 8.5x11" sheets per hour. After creasing, the finished products
are collected neatly on a stacking tray.
The Dynamic Crease Blade Set in this system does not need the paper transport system to
stop when it makes a crease, which allows this system to process up to 6,500 8.5x11"
sheets per hour.

NOTE:
When you crease and fold, the crease is
the most important process. The paper
will not fold accurately if the crease is not
made correctly, or if it is not made in the
correct position.
