: Glueing back to back and folding Before I do this, I wanted to ask the experts on how to properly do it. I need to glue a printed sheet to a heavier card stock paper, than I need the

Score the card stock first and be sure to work with the grain of the paper: folding one way will give you arcing pages, the other will lay much flatter.

The best tool for this is called a bone folder. It will not tear the paper fibers so your score is much less likely to fray.

As for the artwork, that paper has a grain as well but it may not be as evident. Try the same test and print your artwork accordingly, if possible.

When you mount the art, be very careful to apply your adhesive evenly and completely. I've had the best luck waiting until the adhesive has set to complete the fold. A few hours under pressure (heavy books) or, if you have the time, overnight will do.

I think 100 lb cardstock is thick enough that you could glue the paper down on top of it and then score the back. Not 100% sure. If it was a regular multiply matte board I would say glue it first then score the back. With this I'm not as sure, do you really need to cut it at all? Can't you just press it in half? If you absolutely have to score or cut to get your desired result I would still glue the paper first I think.
