Find the Right Paper Creaser for Your Application

Manual Creasing Machines

Manual creasers are a practical fit for smaller shops, lighter production, and occasional finishing jobs where simplicity and affordability matter most.

Automatic Creasing Machines

Automatic creasers improve speed, consistency, and setup efficiency for higher-volume production environments handling brochures, covers, invitations, and digitally printed sheets.

Creaser / Folder Combination Systems

Integrated crease-and-fold systems reduce handling and streamline digital finishing for applications that require both crack-free creasing and clean final folds. View paper folders.

Why Digital Print Shops Need a Paper Creaser

Traditional folding can crack toner and damage coated sheets, especially on heavier stocks and digitally printed work. A commercial paper creaser forms a controlled hinge before folding, helping preserve image quality and produce a more professional finished piece.

What does a paper creaser do?

A paper creaser creates a controlled hinge in the sheet before folding, which helps reduce cracking and improve fold quality on digital and offset print.

Why do digital prints crack when folded?

Digital toner can crack on the fold line, especially on coated or heavier stocks. Creasing helps protect the printed surface and produce a cleaner finished piece.

What is the difference between creasing and scoring?

Creasing is typically preferred for digitally printed and coated sheets because it creates a fold-friendly channel, while scoring is often used in other finishing applications. For a deeper comparison, read our Creasing vs. Scoring article.

Should I choose a manual or automatic creaser?

Manual creasers are a good fit for lighter use and smaller shops, while automatic creasers are better for higher volumes, faster setup, and greater consistency.

Do I need a digital creaser or a creaser-folder?

If you regularly produce digitally printed brochures, covers, and folded pieces, either can help. A digital creaser focuses on the crease itself, while a creaser-folder combines creasing and folding in one workflow.
