Round Profile

A fine ‘wrap-around' profile, eliminates any tendency to board cracking caused by ‘shoulders' in creasing rules with a flatter profile.

The thickness is precisely compatible with Sandvik cutting rules.

Available in MR as standard but also available in other hardnesses – see below.

Point Sizes: 2, 3 , 4 and 6
Heights: Up to 30mm
Availability: Coil and metre lengths.
Hardness: ESR – 255HV (24 HRC) SR – 2pt 380HV (39 HRC)
3pt/4pt 340HV (35 HRC)
MR – 400HV (41 HRC) HR – 450HV (45 HRC)
Applications: A selection of creasing rules for all substrates.



Special Profile

A medium hard grade creasing rule that allows a reduced size head to be used for tighter, smaller creases without having to change the cut or profile on the die board.

The tip of the creasing rule is thinner than the body but the body rigidity is maintained.


Point Sizes: 1 or 1 ½ on a 2pt body
2 or 2 ½ on a 3pt body
Heights: Up to 23.80mm
Availability: Coil and metre lengths.
Hardness: 400HV (41 HRC)
Applications: Ideal for intricate packaging designs and where tighter creasing is required in restricted areas.



Duplex

This 4 point medium hard bodied creasing rule has the benefit of a double creasing profile for a squarer crease on thicker materials.





Point Sizes: 4
Heights: Up to 23.80mm
Availability: Coil and 1 metre lengths.
Hardness: 400HV (41 HRC)
Applications: Thicker card



Laser Crease

Made from a solid piece of tempered steel, which means the head will not separate during diecutting. Laser crease offers various creasing options on a range of body sizes.

Available with round or flat tops.


Point Sizes: 3 and 4pt on a 2pt body
4pt on a 3pt body
6 and 8pt on a 3 or 4pt body
Heights: Up to 27mm
Availability: Coil and 1 metre lengths.
Hardness: 330HV (33 HRC)
Applications: For better creasing in corrugated and fibre boards.



TruFold

The bead on the head provides an accurate location for the creasing rule. This ensures accurate creasing and eliminates the problem of ‘roll' frequently faced while creasing corrugated board along the direction of the corrugations.



Point Sizes: 6 on 4pt body, 8 on 4pt body
Heights: Up to 23.62mm
Availability: Coil and 1 metre lengths.
Hardness: 330HV (33 HRC)


TB (Tapered Back) Flat Bed Cutting and Creasing Rules

Specify TB for easier slot location, to minimize back-edge bulging when bending, reduce height variations and make-ready time.
