Custom Paper Scoring

Precision Scoring for Clean, Professional Folds

Paperworks provides custom paper scoring services designed to create clean, accurate folds in cardstock, cover stock, and heavier printing papers.

Scoring is an essential finishing process for printed materials that require folding. By creating a precise crease before folding, scoring prevents cracking, splitting, or uneven folds — ensuring a professional finished product.

 

Our scoring services allow printers and businesses to receive paper that is ready for production and easy to fold during finishing or assembly.

 

What is Paper Scoring?

 

Paper scoring is the process of pressing a controlled indentation into paper to guide the fold line. This technique is particularly important for thicker papers and coated stocks that may crack when folded without scoring.

 

Scoring helps maintain the integrity of the paper surface while producing a sharp, consistent fold.

 

Common Applications for Paper Scoring

Custom scoring is frequently used for:

 

greeting cards

postcards

brochures

By preparing paper with precise scoring, the folding process becomes faster and more reliable.
