Post-Press & Finishing

Choose the calculator that matches the finishing decision: panel structure, material consumption, lift planning, yield or process cost.

Finishing workflow

  1. Confirm fold type, grain direction and score/crease need.
  2. Build and approve a folding dummy before artwork release.
  3. Plan lamination, cutting lifts, loss and downstream capacity.
  4. Record assumptions on the production ticket.
