The difference from the creasing.
Folding differs from creasing that do not use pressure with a blunt knife on the media, but simply folded cartons. Furthermore, folding is not intended for bending of paper with a high density of 170 gr./m² and upwards (there paper is described as cardboard) for this purpose using a process called - creasing. Ad hoc basis is possible, however, to crease cardboard high density first and then be be folded in machine.
