Creasing

Creasing in foreign trade typically refers to linear depressions or folds on the surface of goods or packaging materials caused by compression, folding, or processing. In the packaging industry, it refers to the marks formed on paper boxes, cartons, etc., through die-cutting and creasing processes to facilitate folding; in cargo transportation, it refers to surface damage to products caused by improper stacking or handling. Usage scenarios include: 1) Specifying crease line positions and depths in packaging requirements to ensure box formation; 2) During quality inspection, creasing may be considered a defect affecting product appearance and sales. Notes: Distinguish between intentional creases (such as fold lines) and accidental damage; crease standards should be clearly stated in contracts to avoid disputes. Similar to 'fold marks,' but creasing emphasizes depressions caused by external forces, while fold marks may refer to natural folding. Compared to 'dents,' creases are usually linear. Foreign trade practitioners should specify acceptable crease levels in orders and strictly inspect during quality checks.
