Custom InfoSeal products offer an impressive range of document features. We pride ourselves on designing products to meet your specific application needs. Features include numerous sizes, papers, ink colors, patches, die cuts, and value-added features such as ID cards, labels, and decals. Custom products are available in quantities exceeding 25,000 documents per order and multi-lot combination orders also qualify. That means you have a variety of ways to economize while maximizing the utility of the document.

Overview of Perforations

Introduction
When designing an InfoSeal form, there are three general specifications relating to perforations to consider. They are:

  • Size
  • Type
  • Position

Types of Perforations & Sizes
The following types of perforations are available with the designated specifications.

Type
Specification
Perfed from
Glue Side?
Internal Horizontal
12/032 or a 30 tpi micro perf
Yes
Internal Vertical
12/030 or a 30 tpi micro perf
Yes
Envelope Flap Fold Perf
6/090
Yes
Fold-Assist Perf
17/032 (required on DFS 1000 & 3600)
Yes
Folding Perf
5/50 (Between form perf for bursting)
Yes
17" Depth Folding Perf
4/50 (Between form perf for bursting)
Yes
Control Punch Margin Perf
8/030
Yes
InfoSeal Margin Perf
12/030 (This spec is imperative)
Yes

Note: All horizontal perfs will terminate at the vertical opening stub perfs with the exception of the fold-assist perfs. Fold-assist perfs are notched 1/8" from edge of form.

Ironing Perforations
Marginal perfs are added and IRONED on press.

Position
Horizontal perforations (such as a check perf ) must be no closer than 3/8" from fold location and 1/8" away from window material.
Vertical perforations must be at least 1/8" from window material and cannot go through adhesive tabs.

Perforation Mark Requirements
One pair of registration marks are required for each perforation. These marks are placed at the beginning and ending of each linear perforation. They are 1/16" in length and are printed at a 30% screen. They are generally repeated on the glue-side and non-glue side of the form.

Check Perfs
Horizontal check perfs on cut sheet should use micro perfs.
When designing a check application for an 11" InfoSeal which is C-folded, the optimum check size is 3 inches. This check dimension permits the three 3/4" x ¾" adhesive tabs positioned at the opposite end of the document to completely clear the back of the check when the second panel is folded and sealed to form the envelope. The adhesive tabs now adhere to the area above the check and, thus, eliminate the potential of partially tearing the check when opening. A 3-1/8" depth check on an 11" depth document will require glue tab measurements of ¾" x ¼".

Manufacturing Note
Perf flatteners are used on cut sheet jobs.
