It's so frustrating that saddle stitching equipment manufacturer's haven't solved the major problem of  fibre cracking that still occurs on their machines. Unfortunately standard scoring devices that are supplied with stitching machines only produce an average result. Ok, average is sometimes good enough but aren't you just fed up with the amount of time you or your operators struggle to get a good enough score on those difficult cross grained stocks with a UV varnish or gloss coating?

So why hasn’t the problem been solved?

For all manufacturers and opportunists who have looked to find the answer to fibre cracking our research proves conclusively that they have all failed to understand how.

What if there was a perfect creasing solution?

Imagine what it would be like if you could attach a single device inside your cover feeder that ended all your problems once and for all. Just think of the immediate benefits...

• No standing around for hours and hours waiting for the operator to try and reduce cracking on heavy or difficult stocks
• No more expensive out-sourcing that threatens your tight deadlines
• No more unnecessary cracking
• No more production bottle necks
• No more headaches 

The Spine-Creaser is the answer to all your headaches

If this is what your covers look like when scoring on your saddle stitcher, then read on to discover the secret to Perfect Creasing In-Line on Your Cover Feeder!

 

 

• Never spend valuable time on your printing press scoring covers

• Never waste time on your cylinder or platen die press with straight line creasing jobs for your stitcher

• Never send a stitched book cover out to another shop for scoring

• Simply cut the covers and load them into the cover feeder!

“Previously we could only crease to the maximum of 250gsm and at times not very successfully, as we were experiencing cracking, particularly when we were folding against the grain. With the Spine-Creaser we are able, and confident, to crease any job up to 400gsm with not a sign of cracking, both with and across the grain. Once again, thank you”

Garry Warren – Action Print Finishing, New Zealand

In the time it takes for your customer to call and complain about his last job (whether it was cracked, or whether it was late because you had to send it out for scoring, or both!!) your operator can start saving you thousands of pounds with the easy-to-install Spine-Creaser. Guaranteed.

Within minutes, your new Spine-Creaser will begin producing creased covers that equal or surpass what you would expect from a die score.
