For paper over 135kg in weight we are unable to fold using machines as the paper surface will tear. Alternatively we can press a line (a score or crease) into the paper to make it easy to fold by hand. This is commonly done to folded shop cards and other similar items. The score makes for a good clean fold.
We are able to press up to 2 score lines in one run through the machine but if the distance between the scores is less than 50mm, the data is larger than A3, or 3 or more scores are required there may be additional fees required and the turnaround may need to be adjusted. Once we check your data we will inform you if this applies to you.
Please add extra crop marks and/or guidelines to your data, indicating the position of the score lines.
The smallest size we are able to score is double business card size (55mm × 182mm or 110mm × 91mm)
Note: the side of the paper that receives the score line will form the outside of the product once folded.
| No. score lines | Set-up fee | Price per copy |
|---|---|---|
| 1 score | ¥1,500 | ¥1 |
| 2 scores | ¥2,000 | ¥1 |

Add a beautiful metallic foil to your design. Foil stamping is the process of machine-pressing sheets of metallic foil onto a flat surface with a special die-cut template. It is also known as hot stamping, since high temperatures are applied to the foil to create the necessary adhesion. At Mojoprint, we offer gold (shiny or matte) or silver (shiny or matte) as standard. Black, metallic red, metallic blue, metallic green, metallic pink, metallic sky blue, or holographic foils (perfect for security foiling tickets) are also available with a custom quote.
For paper weights of 135kg and more. The price for foiling is based on the total surface area to be foiled. Smallest size that can be foil stamped: Business card size (91mm × 55mm).

Embossing is the process of pressing a metal or silicone die-cut shape into a surface from behind, to create a relief. This is usually applied to logos or text to create a raised, slightly 3-d effect. It is similar to blind letterpress. Creating the die shape can take at least 4 working days, so please allow plenty of time for the process if you are planning to use an emboss in your designs.
The price for embossing is based on the total surface area to be embossed.

Cutting out custom shapes from printed materials is known as die-cutting. With a die-cut, you can create any kind of weird or wonderful shaped flyers or postcards imaginable. The Thomson die-cut press is the most common tool for this task, so in Japan die-cutting is also referred to as Tomson. The process involves creating a custom die from laser-cut board and sharp metal and then using it, cookie-cutter-like, to press the desired shape from the prints. Creating the die/cutter shape can take at least 4 working days, so please allow plenty of time for the process if you are planning to use die-cuts in your designs.

Preparing data for die-cutting
- Only Adobe Illustrator data can be accepted for the die-cut shape
- Die-cuts are only possible on stocks of 135kg weight or greater.
- Please create the die-cut shape as a separate illustrator file, filled with 100% K and aligned exactly to the separate CMYK file with registration marks.
- Die-cut shapes leave a tiny bridge between the stock and the die-cut shape - much like the fine knob of plastic that remains when you remove parts from a plastic modeling kit. For die-cuts where a shape is cut-out of a base, both the base and shape will be delivered still connected.
- You are advised to create a mock-up up of your die-cut to make sure it assembles as you expect. We do not carry out checks post-production.
- Depending on size the die-cut may be off-centre by 1-3mm.
- In certain cases, your desired shape may not be possible, or may require additional turnaround or expense.
