Abstract

A signature formed as a plurality of layers of paper sheets and having a fold line is provided along the fold line with a line of spaced perforations. This line of perforations is formed by a signature perforating knife which has a plurality of spaced perforating teeth. The folded signature avoids creases and bulges during stacking of plural signatures.
