CrafTreat Large straight folder
What this tool is for
The CrafTreat Large is a straight 16 cm folder for pressing a fold along a section of paper. The length gives you a longer contact edge when creasing a large sheet or working a turn-in along a cover board. Choose it for folds that are easy to reach from above. The broad Ergo Square has a different advantage if most of the work is smoothing a pasted surface.

Fit and buying advice
The 16 cm figure describes the folder itself. It gives you no limit on the length of a fold, since you can work along the crease in overlapping passes. Test the edge on a spare piece of the same cover paper if the finish marks easily. Compare the broad Ergo Square for smoothing a large pasted area.

Questions about this tool
When is the longer profile useful?
It gives your hand a longer tool to control along a straight, open fold. A small joint can be easier to reach with a shorter or narrower profile.
Can I use it to position a cover board?
It can press a fold once you have marked it. Use a ruler or spacing guide to position the board and repeat the gap.
How should I try it on coated paper?
Make a crease on a matching offcut. Inspect the visible face and edges before using the same pressure on the cover.
