Scoring Position Calculator
Enter the flat width and number of equal panels to get every score location from the left/reference edge.
Enter your job values
Use the real values from your job. Optional fields can stay blank; zero should only be used when the value genuinely does not apply.

Paper bulk, grain and equipment can change the geometry
Booklet creep, fold compensation and spine thickness are physical-production estimates. Whenever a fold, bind, die or laminator controls the finished piece, record the actual stock caliper and the equipment/vendor specification rather than converting GSM to thickness by assumption.
What the result is useful for
Explicit score coordinates are useful when handing a fold plan to layout, finishing or estimating.
How the calculation works
Panel width = flat width ÷ panel count. Score positions are successive multiples of the panel width before the final edge.
What this calculator cannot know
This equal-panel calculator does not compensate roll folds, gate folds, stock caliper, scoring-channel width or machine setup.
