    • Q: Scoring
      • Scoring can be defined as the process of making a crease in the paper where the fold line will occur. This enhances the appearance of the fold which acts as a guideline for folding as well as reduces the chances for the paper to crack.
      • For heavy weight papers like card stock, scoring is done before folding. Where the light weighted papers fold without the need for scoring, heavy weighted or thick papers require a wider score for better folding.

Tape binding is relatively stiff and hence, cannot lay flat.
