Question

Can I request scoring on my printed pieces without folding?

Answer

Yes, you can request scoring without folding. Scoring presses crease lines into the stock so the piece folds cleanly later, but the finished pieces are delivered flat rather than pre-folded. This is handy when you want to fold in-house or ship the item flat.

  • Crease only: score lines make folding easy but the pieces ship unfolded.
  • Specify the count: tell the team how many scores you need and where each one falls.
  • Provide a mockup: a simple diagram showing score positions prevents misplaced creases.

Scoring is especially useful on heavier stocks, where folding without a crease can crack the surface. Marking exact positions keeps every fold landing where you planned.
