Creating a crease in a straight line to a sheet of paper for easy and accurate folding
a pre-defined crease in paper to aid in the folding process.
Furrowing a sheet, particularly if it is heavy stock, so that it will fold without cracking.
A finishing process that enables paper to be folded easily.
creasing a piece of paper or card so it folds better. Scoring also helps prevent toner from cracking when folded.
Using a letterpress and a piece of metal to make an indent in paper. This step is necessary when folding cover stock. Split Run An order with the same front side but may have two or more different backsides.
Process of perforating or cutting thin lines into old wallpaper so that wallpaper removal solutions can better penetrate the paper.
Pressing a channel into a sheet of paper to allow it to fold more easily. Scoring and pressing the paper fibers together creates an emossed channel that does two things: acts as a guide for easier folding, and creates a hinge that keeps the fiber stretch short. The score should run parallel to the paper grain; the thicker the paper, the wider the score should be. Paper should be folded with the scored side on the outside, making two short stretches rather than one long one. The outcome is a straight, durable fold that doesn't crack or break.
The process and the resulting line or crease mechanically impressed in the paper to facilitate folding while guarding against cracking of paper and board. Scoring is essential when heavyweight papers are to be folded across the grain.
Scoring is the process of pressing a "channel" into a sheet of paper to allow it to fold more easily. Scoring is important because it prevents the ink (and paper) from cracking at the edge of the fold.
Heavy card weight stock can get unsightly bumps when folded. To prevent this a score is made along the fold line using a scoring wheel on the printing press. A shallow indentation is thus made ensuring the item folds neatly.
Metal sheets are scored usually with a tool of nearly 45 degrees for folding and soldering into boxes etc.
A mechanical means of pressing a channel into a sheet of paper to facilitate folding while guarding against cracking the paper. Scoring is typically used when heavyweight papers are folded.
A process used to get a crisp and accurate fold on paper. Scoring produces an embossed ridge on the paper. This "bump" should be inside the fold. The heavier and thicker the paper, the wider the score.
The process of pressing a groove into the paper to allow it to fold more easily and keep the sheet from cracking when folded. The score should run parallel to the paper grain and be folded with the scored side on the outside. Thick papers require wider scores.
To compress paper along a line so paper will fold more easily. Close Window
This process involves partially cutting through cardboard so it will fold more neatly.
(1) Underlining of a word or words. It is normally produced using a ruling pen in Composition. When all words in a copy block are underlined with a continuous rule, it is called Solid Scoring. If each individual word is underscored, it is known as Broken Scoring. (2) Creasing paper or cover stock with a blunt blade along the line of the fold to prevent cracking and to facilitate folding. to top
Creation of a crease to assist folding.
An impression, crease or shallow cut in a chipboard box blank to make it easier to bend or fold.
Making an indentation, generally in the heavier weights of paper, to facilitate a cleaner and easier fold.
In reference to paper conversion, creasing by mechanical means to facilitate folding while guarding against cracking of paper and board. Scoring is essential when heavyweight papers are to be folded across the grain.
Sharply creasing a material to facilitate folding. It should be made the same direction as the grain of the paper when ease of folding is of prime concern. For greater strength, a score can be made perpendicular to the paper grain.
An indentation made along the fold line prior to folding. Scoring minimizes paper and ink cracking.
