Serious Solutions to On-press Perforating, Scoring and Die-cutting Problems

 

H.S. Boyd Company is the leading manufacturer and distributor of complete inline finishing solutions for the offset printing industry. Since 1958, we have been providing quality products, which include the time-tested Litho Perf rules for offset perforating, Litho-Score for offset scoring and Micro-Perf for fine offset perforating applications. For advanced applications we offer the new integrated Inline Offset Cutting (IOC ) system, the Swiss Perf Print Plus (PPP) System, and the new Perf Offset (Auto Perf Plus) rules for the offset press.

 

Side Series Rules

 

Litho Peer 10 & 20 ft Rolls

 

An original Boyd product, Litho-Perf offset perforating rule remains the industry standard for reliability and high-quality performance. Litho-Perf is available in 6-, 8-, 12- and 16-tooth rules. Rule height selections from .0125 inch to .029 inch allow you to perform perforations on a variety of paper and card stocks for jobs such as direct response mailing cards, coupon booklets and tickets.

 

Litho Score for Card

 

Litho-Score/Card has no sharp, square edges that risk cutting heavier stocks. Its wider, round scoring edge helps minimize cracking and is excellent for heavier coated and uncoated stock, cast-coated paper, covers and jobs where solid coverage is required.

 

Litho Score for Paper

 

The first in-the-run, on-press scoring accessory designed for the offset press, Litho-Score holds consistent register with the printed copy. The rule prepares the stock for a neater fold and is available in various heights and widths for different card and paper stocks. Litho-Score is ideal for scoring newsletters, folders, thank you cards, announcements, table tents and any other job requiring the stock to fold.

 

Litho Slit 10 & 20 ft Rolls

 

Litho-Slit eliminates separate runs by permitting on-press, straight-cutting possibilities. The rule is effective for slitting, straight-line die-cutting and insertion slots in presentation folders and can be used on either card or paper stocks. Litho-Slit can be selected with either a straight edge or our industry-exclusive serrated edge to meet specific criteria.

 

Litho Snap 10 & 20 ft Rolls

 

Litho-Snap functions in the same manner as Litho-Perf, creating perforated, quick-separation snap-out or snap-apart forms. Litho-Snap is available in 3- and 4-tooth paper heights with the 4-tooth available in a higher cutting height for heavier card stocks. An industry exclusive, Litho-Snap was designed with a serrated cutting edge

 

Micro Perf 20 - 4- & 50 ft Rules

 

With 30-, 40- and 50-tooth rules, Micro-Perf is ideal for perforating continuous-feed forms, creating a perforation line that remains clean with no stray fibers or rough edges. The rules are available in a rule height of .022 up to .029 inch, designed for use on paper or card stocks. Micro-Perf is also ideal for jobs that will be passed through a laser printer after being perforated.
