A creasing device includes a frame with a substantially horizontal support surface for supporting an article to be creased; a movable tool; and a stationary tool, the latter comprising a stationary member and at least one displaceable member whose height relative to the stationary member can be adjusted. A first actuator moves the movable tool toward the stationary tool and interacts with opposite faces of the article, and a second actuator translates the displaceable member between a first end position in which interacts with the movable tool and a second end position in which it cannot interact with the movable tool. Guide means associated with the stationary tool guides the displaceable member between the first end position and the second end position. The guide means are have a curvilinear path contained in a plane substantially perpendicular to the support surface.

Disclosed is a method for binding a bundle of leaves, of which a strip of each of the leaves is folded separately beforehand along a first line to form a first fold line that extends parallel to and at a first distance from the edge, and subsequently is folded again along a second line to form a second fold line that extends parallel to and at a second distance from the edge whereby the first distance is different from the second distance.

A sheet processor subjecting a sheet having been conveyed forward to processing along a direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the sheet, includes: a processing unit performing the processing; and a receiving unit receiving the processing unit therein in a state capable of perfecting the processing on the sheet, and the processing unit includes a first processing tool 4A and a second processing tool 4B disposed to vertically oppose each other with a conveyance surface of the sheet disposed therebetween, and the receiving unit includes at least one receiver that removably receives the first processing tool 4A and the second processing tool 4B in the state capable of performing the processing on the sheet, with arbitrarily selected one of the first processing tool 4A and the second processing tool 4B disposed above the conveyance surface, and with arbitrarily selected another of the first processing tool 4A and the second processing tool 4B disposed below the conveyance surface.

Provided are a method for three-dimensionally molding a film, a method for manufacturing a film molded body, and a film molded body that make it possible to easily perform three-dimensional molding of an inner film portion while achieving a reduction in processing time and a decrease in energy consumption and without requiring a design change to the existing equipment. A method for three-dimensionally molding a film, the method including performing cold compression molding in a thickness direction on a film overlapping section in which at least one inner film portion including a first layer and a second layer having an elongation smaller than that of the first layer is arranged between two outer film portions in a non-fixed state with respect to the outer film portions, thereby causing the inner film portion to protrude toward the second layer side at the film overlapping section.

A production method for producing a sealed break-open package comprising the steps of: making, through an outer surface of a sheet and by means of a first tool, an outer incision, which at least partially extends into the area of the pocket; and making, through an inner surface of the sheet opposite the outer surface and by means of a second tool, an inner incision, which is parallel to and aligned with the outer incision. The inner incision is made only after the outer incision has been completed and by making the second tool perform a working stroke, which brings a tip of the second tool inside the outer incision.

A creasing unit for creating fold lines in cardboard, comprising two crease rollers, each crease roller having a circumferential protrusion adapted for indenting cardboard to create a fold line, wherein the crease rollers are rotatably mounted next to each other such that each crease roller can rotate about its own center axis and each crease roller is movable between at least a first position for creating a fold line and a second position for either allowing cardboard to pass the respective crease roller without being indented by the respective crease roller or for creating an additional indented line being less deep than the fold line.
