Creasers and perforators
Creasers and perforators — My Print creasers and perforators prepare dense paper, card, laminated covers and advertising materials for a clean fold or controlled tear-off.
The category includes manual models for small runs, electric machines for regular work and an automatic digital creaser with programmable positions.

How to use a creaser
What to compare
Working width
Check the actual working width, not the number in the model name: CR Pro 500 is confirmed at 460 mm.
Drive type
Manual is simpler and cheaper; electric reduces effort; automatic repeats score positions quickly.
Perforation
Needed for tickets, coupons, stubs and tear-off forms. It is not required for a normal fold.
Stock weight
Creasing and perforation can have different stock ranges; do not copy one number to every operation.
Crease depth
For laminated and coated materials, start shallower to avoid surface damage.
Task matching
Format, run size and perforation need matter more than simply choosing the most expensive model.
We’ll match the creaser to your work
Tell us the sheet format, stock weight, whether perforation is needed and how many sheets you process per day. This avoids paying for automation where a manual machine is enough.

FAQ about "Creasers and perforators":
A creaser presses the future fold line, while folding actually bends the sheet. Creasing is needed before folding dense, coated, laminated or digitally printed stock to reduce cracking and breaking.
Perforation is needed when part of the sheet must tear off neatly: tickets, coupons, stubs, forms and tear-off parts. It is not required for a regular cover or postcard fold.
- CR Base — a simple manual option for small runs.
- CR Base 460-P — when a tear-off line is needed together with creasing.
- CR Pro — when manual effort becomes too slow.
For CR Pro 500, the published working width is 460 mm. 500 remains the model/commercial name, not the declared feed width.
No. Perforation must be checked by model and tool set. In this line, perforation is confirmed for CR Base 460-P, CR Pro 500, CR Pro 660-P and CR Auto 350-P.
CR Auto 350-P has digital position input, can make up to 32 creases per sheet, save jobs and repeat production tasks faster. Manual models are simpler and cheaper, but depend more on the operator.
