• Folding, grooving, bending, perforating, sorting, folded sheet, trim, cutout, lining

Folding

Paper folding. The machines produce one or two parallel folds. More complex combinations may be achieved through manual folding.

Grooving, Bending

Making grooves in paper. In the case of greater weights, first a groove is created in the material at the future fold location and then the printed item is folded to the required format (avoiding cracks in the fold area).

Perforating

Creation of a line of small round or longitudinal holes, which are to thin down the material, allowing easier separation of parts divided in this way.

Sorting

Machine-based or manual sorting of the individual printed sheets or folders into their final order of sheets of a sorted block.

Folded Sheet

Paper sheet folded once or twice into its specified raw format. A few joined folded sheets form a book block.

Book Sheet

Paper sheet folded once or twice into its specified raw format. A few joined folded sheets form a book block.

Lining

Lining is a process during which two material sheets are glued together. Usually, a top printed sheet is glued to the bottom sheet of non-printed corrugated or smooth cardboard. The result is a semi-product for the production of valuable packaging and POS materials.

Trim

Adjustment of a printed item’s dimensions to its final format, using a cutting machine or scissors.

Die Cuttin

Die cutting of a required shape with a cutting die. This is used for printed items whose shapes cannot be produced through cutting their 4 edges only.

Die Cutting Tool, Di

This tool is used for semi-product (sheet of paper, carton, cardboard) die cutting to achieve the required shape. The die cutting tool is usually a wooden board with an integrated shaped metal knife and bending component plates. A complete die proceeds into the die cutting machine, which die cuts the final products from the sheets.
