• Folding

  At Automate, we are experts at standard and custom folds for brand materials. We can create brochures with multiple folds to display a variety of services and products in great detail.We can even simplify things with a bi-fold design that gets right to the point.
  
  Our gate fold services use a z-fold (6 panel) or even an accordion fold (8 panel) to incorporate designs that utilize the entire sheet of paper. Some designs require even more customized folds such as map folds or french folds or even the standard tri fold to get your message across.

• Perferation / Scoring

  If you need high quality perferation, scoring or even die cuts, we can help! Simple perferation is the process of making a line of holes in to facilitate separation. Often this is used to create a Business Reply Card where one half of the card will be torn off and mailed back to the mailer. It can also be used for tickets, forms, custom jobs, you name it!
  
  A score is used to put a crease in paper to help it fold better. We can do off-line scoring and folding or perferate for coupons or tickets. If you require more custom services such as micro perfing or numbering we can do those as well.

  Automate provides a wide range of digital copying needs. Whatever the size job you have, whether its black and white or color, small format or oversize document reproduction, we have the expertise and equipment to complete your job.
