Things to Consider for Scoring and Folding Projects

When planning a print project that requires scoring and folding, it’s important to account for the paper type, final layout, and how the piece will be used. These factors impact both the appearance and functionality of your final product, ensuring clean folds, minimal cracking, and a polished presentation.

Scoring and Folding FAQ

Scoring is the process of creating a light crease along a sheet of paper to allow it to fold cleanly without cracking or damaging the ink or toner on the surface.

Thicker and coated papers are more likely to crack when folded. Scoring compresses the paper fibers along the fold line, preventing this and giving your piece a clean, professional appearance.

Scoring is recommended for paper stocks heavier than 80 lb cover or any coated/glossy paper used in folded projects like brochures, menus, invitations, and greeting cards.
