How to choose perforating, slitting, and scoring equipment
Four decisions settle most quotes.
Process mix. Perf only, score only, or multi-tool digital finishing. Match tools to the jobs you run every week.
Sheet size and volume. Desktop multi units for short-run digital. Higher PT and AeroCut paths for daily production.
Cards vs documents. Business-card cutters are a different tool family than form perforators. See business card cutters.
Numbering attach. If you also need sequential numbers, start at numbering machines (many GW systems number + perf + score).

Perforating, slitting, and scoring FAQ
What is the difference between perforating and scoring?
Perforating creates a tear line. Scoring creates a controlled crease so stock folds cleanly without cracking.
Can one machine perforate, slit, and score?
Yes. Many Graphic Whizard multi and MBM AeroCut paths combine tools. Confirm the tool package on the quote.
Do business card cutters belong here?
Card cutters share the digital finishing lane and appear in this collection. Dedicated card work also lives under business card cutters.
