Suggestions Which Summa F-series creasing tool to get?

[White Haus]

Playing around with a specific application and want to try creasing an 8mil polyester block-out material - which creasing tool would be best for a thinner material like that?

Bonus points if it will also work with cardstock and thinner corrugated cardboard if we ever get the chance to play with packaging.

The amount of different tools is overwhelming and the descriptions are all pretty vague. I have no experience with creasing or any of these tools - my inclination is to buy the biggest one available and just go light on the pressure, but who knows if that's a good approach.

PN's range from 500-9325 to 500-9329

For thin stock, you want to use: 500-9328
For cardboard, 500-9324 works the best. But I usually us 500-9326 since it is faster to load. haha

Thanks Matt! Will try to get my hands on the 500-9328.

I'm assuming you have all of those creasing tools? (I seem to remember you mentioning that you have pretty much every tool, lol)

Have you ever tried creasing something like a polyester / roll up banner stock before?

I would really consider the D50 for general use (not on your picture). It's much more forgiving than the small wheels that easily break the surface.
It is possible you need a smaller wheel for that polyester tho.

yes, I have most of the tools. I guess I am a tool whore. They have a few new ones I want to get now too. haha
