Abstract
A system for forming a foldable printed substrate includes a creasing system that applies a plurality of creases to the substrate along a first axis. It also applies a plurality of creases to the substrate along a second axis that is angled with respect to the first axis. Each creases is applied in a manner that does not ablate the substrate. The system also may include a cutting system to yield a foldable substrate such as a carton, sleeve, or box. It also may include a printing system to generate a printed, foldable substrate.
