The ‘C’ option comprises a creasing wheel cartridge that replaces the vertical blade cartridge when you want to crease board.  The creasing option includes our box designing software and the designs for several popular boxes.   All boxes can be specified to the size you require (so long as this fits on the maximum board size) and we recommend the use of one of the excellent micro-flute boards for this type of work.
