Details & specifications

The Horizon CRF-362 creases and folds digital stock in a single pass, eliminating toner cracking on covers and folded work that ordinary folders leave rough. As an authorized Standard Horizon dealer, Mid-State Litho supplies the CRF-362 for shops that want crease-and-fold in one operation, and we deliver, install, train and service every machine.

Horizon CRF-362 Paper Creaser & Folder

The Horizon CRF-362 combines precision creasing and high-quality folding in one automated pass. It eliminates toner cracking by applying an impact crease before folding - ideal for menus, greeting cards, covers, and premium collateral. A large color touchscreen guides operators through setup; simply enter sheet size and fold pattern, and the system auto-configures with fine on-screen adjustments.

Key Features

🔷Sharp creasing & folding in one pass - Impact creaser prevents cracking on digitally printed work (coated or uncoated; laminated supported).

🔷Dual fold knives - Consistent, high-quality folding even on heavier stocks.

🔷Reliable feeding & registration - Air-suction feed belt with precise sheet control.

🔷Versatile patterns - Six standard folding patterns plus dedicated cover-crease programs for perfect binding.
