Perforated
What is Perforated?
Paper perforation creates a continuous line of micro‑perforations—tiny holes or slits—through paper or cardstock. This engineered weak line allows sections to be cleanly and predictably torn away without damaging the surrounding material.
Common Perforation Methods
Single‑Line Perforation
A single dashed line is the most common type. It's widely used in art and activity books, coupon books, flyers, and desk pad calendars.
Dual‑Line Perforation (Rip Strips)
Two parallel perforation lines that create a detachable strip—much like a zipper—allowing for easy, controlled removal. Common in seal‑end packaging, promotional booklets, and interactive activity books.
