We also have a moll marathon for high speed gluing of presentation folders.

Scoring

Scoring is a method of reducing paper stiffness along a line in order to aid in folding. Press scores (litho score) and old style folding machine scores (e.g. steel scoring blade between steel or rubber collars) are two examples. They simply weaken the sheet to aid in folding we have a few methods of doing this by using a Rollem scoring machine for short runs and a Heidelberg cylinder for large runs.

Index Dividers

Shanowen Files is Ireland largest manufacturer of bespoke tabbed dividers. We make plain or numbered tabbed divider sets with or without mylar,we can tab cut collets and drill up to 4 holes,we can also insert them into binders or folders.

Mylar Edge Reinforcing

We use heat Sealable Edge Reinforcing Film for Reinforcing , this can be applied to the back or the front of the binding edge to make your indexes resistant to ripping out at the punched holes, this is the most secure way to prevent your important documents and papers from ripping from frequent handling.

For digital work we have a Morgana folder for short to medium runs on digital stock.
