Interchangeable Die-cutting Creasing System

A cutting-die creasing apparatus includes anchors that together with crease members allow for the quick exchange or replacement of crease members on a die-cutting board. The creasing apparatus does not require fasteners such as nails or staples, nor does it require adhesives or other adherents to attach the crease members to the board and to maintain the structural integrity of the overall system. The creasing apparatus also maintains a more consistent geometric alignment due to the anchor being located via the initial geometrically located cut into the die board as opposed to surface mounted creasing systems, the location of which may vary dependent on how it is applied. The system also provides for a wide variety of designs that can be customized and produced to fit specific applications.
