Technical Information

1. Measure the length of
the creasing rule
  2. Mark the measurement
and cut the matrix
3. Mount the cut piece onto
the creasing rule with locator
  4. Repeat cutting and mounting onto all the creasing rules
5. Clean the counter plate to remove any residue from the previous job   6. Remove all the backing tapes
7. Transfer the matrix and the
locator onto the counter plate
  8. Remove all of the locators
Selecting the correct creasing matrix step 1
  • Firstly measure the board thickness 'C' - up to 700 gsm
  • Multiply the thickness 'C' by 1.5.
  • Add on the crease rule thickness 'D' (see table below).
  • This will give you measurement 'B'.
  • Find the correct width of MATRIX closest to measurement 'B'.
  • Measurement 'A' should be equivalent to the thickness 'C', though it may need adjusting with rule height.
Selecting the correct creasing matrix step 2
  • Firstly measure the compressed thickness of the board 'E'
  • Multiply the thickness 'E' by 2.
  • Add on the crease rule thickness 'D'.
  • This will give you measurement 'B'.
  • Find the correct width of MATRIX closest to measurement 'B'.
  • Measurement 'A' should be equivalent to the thickness 'E', though it may need adjusting with rule height.
Selecting the correct creasing matrix step 3
  • Firstly measure the width required between creases from centre to centre (Z).
  • Subtract the rule width (see table below).
  • This will give the measurement 'Y'. Choose the matrix closest to this.
  • To calculate measurement 'X', multiply the board thickness 'C' by 1.5
  • Take this measurement away from 'Y' to derive the matrix size closest to.
Selecting the correct creasing matrix step 4
  • Follow steps 1-3, as shown above for solid board to calculate measurement 'Y'.
  • To calculate the measurement 'X', firstly measure the board thickness 'E', and multiply x 2.0.
  • Take this away from measurement 'Y' to derive the matrix size closest to.
