Print Finishing Kit Layout
Trimmers, creasers, and square tools for short-run print that must look square on the counter.
Bench Footprint for Print Finishing
Allocate a clear 1 metre span along the main bench for the Print Finishing Kit. This zone handles A3 sheets flat, with no overhang. Position the rotary trimmer closest to the operator’s right if you're right-handed, or left if not, for a safe grip and clean pull. The cutting mat sits under the square and bone folder, leaving their station stable even with edge pressure. All items must be within arm’s reach but never stacked, so jobs flow fast and no corners take a knock.
Print Finishing Tray Map
A simple tray system keeps trimmer parts, blades, and the bone folder sorted. Use one shallow tray for spare blades, steel square, and corner rounder. Store the crease board upright at the bench edge, never flat, to avoid bowing. Your bench should have a non-slip mat under the main tray, so nothing slides during a busy run, especially when you’re swapping out blades.
- Tray 1: Spare trimmer blade, steel square, corner rounder
- Tray 2: Bone folder, crease board (upright)
- Mat: Cutting mat stays laid flat, never curled
Power and Safety Placement
Most Print Finishing Kit tools are manual. If your trimmer or corner rounder requires power, plug directly into a socket below the bench, never on an extension that might catch a toe. Mark the power lead path with visible tape, so it stays clear of crease and cut zones. Safety guards must be checked every morning as a habit. Keep a guard cue card right by the trimmer handle. If it's not visible, no cutting until it is.
Routine Checks and Care
A changeover drill at the start of each week means swapping trimmer blades and checking for burrs on the square’s edge. If you forget, that double dull blade can wreck a week’s order. Store spare blades in a sealed tube in the tray, and wipe all hand tools down after every shift. This routine keeps your print looking square, ready for the counter and the client.
