About This Product
Folding and creasing play an important part in the life of paper, because almost all varieties are folded once or many times in use. Folding resistance is therefore important in judging whether a paper suits its end use. The Schopper method is generally used for thin papers, below 0.25 mm in thickness, while another folding endurance method suits papers up to 1.25 mm. In the test a paper strip is folded back and forth until it breaks, and the number of folds is its folding endurance.
