A often overlooked but crucial element comes into play to bring documents to life: shaping. This step, akin to the sculpting of raw material, transforms printed sheets into finished, functional, and aesthetic products.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the process of producing printed documents, <span style=\"color: #ed008e\">shaping <\/span>is not limited to a simple final step. It is a <span style=\"color: #ed008e\">set of techniques <\/span>that add value and quality to the final products, transforming prints into tangible objects, carriers of meaning and emotions. Each step of this process helps create captivating prints, capable of capturing attention and effectively conveying the client&#8217;s message.

Scoring, on the other hand, creates a groove, facilitating neat and precise folds <span style=\"color: #ed008e\">without cracking <\/span>the paper. Perforation is used to create holes of various diameters on printed materials, which can be horizontal or vertical, with different standard or customized shapes.
