It is important to not only have a professional print your specific products, but also to make sure that the correct finishings are happening on those products: scoring and folding are two of those very important finishing details. Folding and scoring help printed materials function the way they’re intended. We provide folding and scoring services to ensure clean folds, accurate alignment, and a professional finish, especially for pieces that are handled frequently.
You may not have heard of 'scoring' before, but this is used to create a crease on a printed piece before folding. It is very important when using heavier paper stocks because it helps prevent cracking and keeps the pieces looking clean. Folding is commonly used for brochures, mailers, inserts, and multi-panel pieces. We can do many different types of folding, from a simple half fold to a complex multi-panel fold but no matter the type of fold, we focus on precision so finished materials open smoothly and maintain their shape.

These services are often included as part of a full print job, but if you happened to have your printed materials completed elsewhere, it can also be applied as a finishing step for existing printed materials.
