Reduced Finishing Costs With Pre-Fold Creaser
A specialist UK manufacturer has developed a new method of creasing stock prior to folding that has reduced production costs for finishing houses and printers.
Kolbus said that existing rotary steel scoring devices are limited in what they can do and the patented softer creasing technology produced by Tech-ni-Fold has become accepted.
Heidelberg was the first to secure a purchasing contract with Tech-ni-Fold in 2000 and the German press manufacturer has since bought 3,000 units.
GUK and Mathias Bauerle (MB) also regularly order from the Leicestershire (UK) company.
Graham Harris, inventor of the Tri-creaser and managing director of Tech-ni-Fold, explained: "Print and print finishing firms pay hundreds of thousands of pounds for sophisticated state of the art machinery only to be challenged by the continuing problems that the harsh steel scoring systems bring.
For only a few hundred pounds they can avoid all those hassles and instantly wave goodbye to one of the industries biggest headaches. Request a free brochure from Tech-ni-Fold ...
Our creasing technology is guaranteed to enhance the finished product coming from the machine and save buyers outsourcing costs that run in to thousands of pounds annually.".
