Horizon CRF-362 Paper Creaser and Folder

How to Purchase This Item:

Horizon has created an extremely productive paper creaser and folder. The Horizon CRF-362 Paper Creaser and Folder is an absolute rockstar and is one of our top selling products. Toner cracking on folds will be eliminated with a proper crease done before folding. Almost all creased jobs are folded so it makes perfect sense to do both processes at the same time in one machine. 

Horizon CRF-362 Paper Creaser and Folder Details

A color touch screen makes it easy for anyone to walk up and use this device. The operator is guided through the job setup. You just have to enter the sheet dimensions and fold pattern, then the machine will take over and set itself up automatically. Minor adjustments are made with touch screen menus to make it easy for next generation operators to produce quality work.

Paper Creasing and Folding in One Pass

Creasing printed sheets before you fold them is very important. When there is toner along the fold the paper will crack and make the fold look terrible. It ruins a job to have all of the effort of designing and printing nice artwork only to have it cracked at the end of production. Creasing the toner stops cracking from happening and gives the piece a finished look that is very professional. Take a look below at the image to compare what a fold looks like with and without creasing.
