Overview
The CRA-36 auto creaser puts a controlled score on covers and digital sheets before fold or bind. Use it when toner cracking shows up on bare folds. Compare with CRF-362 when you need crease and fold in one pass.
The Horizon Auto Creaser CRA-36 creases, perforates, slits and trims digital and laminated stock in a single pass, built for shops that need crack-free creasing on covers, menus and mailers.
As an authorized Standard Horizon dealer, Mid-State Litho supplies the CRA-36 with touchscreen control and optional rotary kits, and we deliver, install, train and service every unit.
Built by Horizon International in Japan. North American distribution through Standard Finishing Systems. Sold, installed, and serviced in Michigan and the Great Lakes by Mid-State Litho.
