Paper cutters and trimmers are useful for cutting and trimming a variety of documents. Cutting business cards, booklets and handouts evenly require a precise trimmer or cutter.
Paper cutters are specifically used for cutting thick stacks of paper. The best paper cutters will be equipped with high quality stainless steel cutting blades and should be able to cut up to 10-40 sheets of paper at one time, depending on the cutter.
Paper cutters with a 15” cutting width will cut larger stacks of paper. Paper cutters with smaller cutting widths can be used when smaller stacks are all you typically cut. Good paper cutters will include paper size guides, cutting angle guides and even guides for cutting photos. The guides are essential for ensuring accurate, even cuts. A good paper cutter should also include a locking paper clamp so the cut stays consistently even with each stack of paper.
When very short stacks of paper are being cut, then a paper trimmer is the basic tool for the task. Basic paper trimmers will cut stacks of paper between 5 and 10 sheets at a time, depending on the cutting width available.
Good paper trimmers also feature trimming guides for precise trimming results. Trimmers will also come with various blade types for different cutting styles. Straight, perforated, wavy and fold blades offer distinctively different trim lines for different projects. Like cutters, good trimmers should include a locking blade for maintaining precision.
Whether you decide on a paper cutter or trimmer, it is important that safety comes first. Choose one with a safety guard to prevent accidents and injuries.Read Less
