When it comes to printed materials, it’s often the smallest details that make the biggest impact—and perforation is one of those unsung heroes of finishing work. Whether you’re designing a direct mail piece, a ticket, or a tear-away coupon, perforation adds both functionality and finesse to your print project.
What is Perforation?
Perforation is the process of creating a line of tiny, evenly spaced holes in paper or cardstock. These holes can run along a straight or curved line and are designed to make it easy to tear off a portion of the printed piece cleanly and precisely.
Why use Perforation?
Common Uses for Perforation
Design Tip:
Keep at least a 1/8″ margin around perforated areas to ensure clean separation and readability. We’ll help guide you through the best placement and spacing during the design phase.
