When it comes to professional print finishing, sometimes it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Whether you're producing promotional leaflets, business cards, vouchers or detachable forms, having the ability to perforate only a specific section of a sheet opens up a whole new range of possibilities.
we're pleased to introduce Custom Partial Perforation Bars, now available as an optional extra for the Galaxy iCAP 250 and iCAP 350A creasing and perforating machines.
What Is Partial Perforation?
Traditional perforation generally creates a line of small cuts running across the entire width or length of a sheet, allowing it to be easily torn or separated.
Partial perforation, sometimes called intermittent perforation, offers greater flexibility by allowing a perforation to start and stop at specific positions rather than running continuously across the paper.
This is particularly useful when only one section of a printed sheet needs to be detachable, while the remaining material stays intact.
For example, imagine an A4 promotional leaflet featuring a business card printed in the bottom corner. With a customised partial perforation, the business card can be separated from the leaflet without cutting or tearing through the rest of the printed design.
It's a simple idea that can make printed materials much more practical and engaging.
What Can Partial Perforation Be Used For?
There are many applications where a specially positioned perforation can enhance the finished product.
Detachable Business Cards
Include a business card directly within a promotional leaflet or brochure. Customers can simply tear off the card and keep your contact details for future reference.
Promotional Vouchers and Coupons
Create detachable offers or discount vouchers as part of a larger marketing leaflet, making it easier for customers to retain and redeem them.
Event Tickets and Invitations
Produce tickets with detachable sections for admission, registration or promotional purposes.
Forms and Reply Slips
Add removable sections to printed forms, allowing recipients to return specific information while keeping the remainder of the document.
Bespoke Printed Products
From marketing materials to specialist stationery, partial perforation provides additional flexibility for businesses offering customised print finishing services.
Custom-Made to Your Requirements
Unlike a standard full-length perforating bar, our Custom Partial Perforation Bars are manufactured to suit your specific requirements.
Simply provide us with the measurements indicating where the perforation needs to start and finish along the sheet.
We can then arrange for a customised bar to be produced for your application, subject to confirming the required layout and machine compatibility.
This makes it possible to create specialist perforated products without relying on conventional full-length perforation.
Available for the Galaxy iCAP 250 and iCAP 350A
Our custom partial perforation option is available for two popular machines in the Galaxy Print Finishing range.
Galaxy iCAP 250 Creasing and Perforating Machine
The iCAP 250 is a versatile solution for businesses looking to produce professional creasing and perforating results. With a processing speed of up to 30 sheets per minute and support for paper weights from 80 to 350gsm, it is ideal for a wide range of print finishing applications.
The optional custom partial perforation bar adds another level of flexibility for specialist projects.
Galaxy iCAP 350A Automatic Creasing and Perforating Machine
For businesses requiring greater productivity, the iCAP 350A features an automatic air and suction feeding system and can process up to 40 sheets per minute.
The addition of a custom partial perforation bar makes it an attractive option for commercial printers and print finishing departments looking to expand the range of specialist work they can offer.
Partial perforation isn't just about creating tear-off sections. It's about giving customers more creative possibilities and helping print businesses offer something beyond standard finishing.
A leaflet with an integrated business card, a promotional flyer with a detachable voucher or a bespoke form with a removable section can all add functionality to an otherwise ordinary printed sheet.
For print shops and commercial printers, offering these additional finishing options can also create opportunities for new customer projects.
