Thompson-Boyd Offset Strip Center Rules are a high-quality, pre-cut rule conveniently packaged in 6' (1.8m) and 20' (6m) strips. They are specifically designed for on-press perforating of card stock and other heavy paper stocks, with a choice of durable rule heights of .024 and .030.
Each rule perforation creates a fine, sturdy tear that holds up during handling but provides a clean separation for the end-user. As a Center Rule, it is applied directly to the impression cylinder, allowing you to efficiently perforate and print in a single pass.

Offset Strip Center Rules in 20' are available from 6 TPI to 16 TPI Card, Slit and Score card as well as 6 TPI to 16 TPI for Paper, Slit and Score paper.
