Creasing is a print finish that adds a crease to a flat printed card sheet (which can then be folded later). The crease is impressed on top of an image after the printing and laminating process. In the case of laser cutting, the crease is performed by lightly scoring the card with the laser.

Creasing can only be created if you make a 'Crease' Layer in your artwork, using Adobe Illustrator or Indesign only.

To do this; create a new layer in Illustrator or Indesign and name it 'Crease'. In this layer, use a 100% Cyan stroke colour to create a line where you wish the crease to appear.

Please extend the crease line to the outside of the bleed line.

Below this creasing layer, you can place any other special layers, (eg. Scodix, Lasercut, White printing, etc.). Place your 'Printing' layer below any special layers, here you can place all text and images that will be printed in full-colour ink.

When your design is ready to be exported to PDF, It is essential to export using the below settings.
