FAQ
What’s the difference between a paper trimmer and a paper cutter?
A paper trimmer is for light, precise cuts. A paper cutter handles thicker stacks and is better suited for heavy-duty or bulk use. Choose based on your cutting volume and material type.
What sheet capacity should I expect from a paper cutter?
Light-duty paper trimmers typically cut up to 12 sheets, ideal for everyday tasks. For bulk jobs, heavy-duty guillotine cutters can handle stacks of up to 400 sheets at once. Always check the model specs to match your cutting needs.
What is the best paper cutter for scrapbooking and light office use?
Our 15" Paper Trimmer, Guillotine and Cutter with a 12-sheet capacity, inch ruler, and cutting grid is ideal for scrapbooking, school projects, and light-duty document work. Look for safety features like an arm lock and rubber feet for added stability.
What’s the best paper cutter to use for high-volume jobs at work?
If you're handling thick stacks regularly, go for a heavy-duty guillotine cutter, like the 12" Steel Manual Guillotine, Paper Cutter and Trimmer(400-sheet capacity). Look for one with a steel base, safety lever, and paper clamp so it stays steady and accurate, especially in busy office or print shop settings.
What kind of paper cutter is needed for oversized or ledger paper?
A wide-format guillotine cutter with a cutting width of 17 inches is best for oversized paper like ledger sheets. It offers high precision with a lockable backstop and reinforced handle for heavy use.
What features ensure safe use of the manual guillotine cutters?
Safety features on manual guillotine cutters include easy-lock safety levers or clamp wheels to hold paper firmly, arm locks for added control, and non-skid rubber feet for stable operation.
What materials are used in these paper cutters?
They’re usually built with a steel base and hardened cutting blades. This gives them better stability and long-term cutting accuracy for office or industrial use.
What size paper cutter should I get for a desk setup?
For everyday work, a desktop paper cutter between 12 to 28 inches is ideal. It fits well on work tables and handles common paper sizes like A4 and ledger sheets.
What tool is used to cut plastic ID cards or PVC badges?
A desktop die cutter with a hardened steel cutting die is designed to trim plastic ID cards, credit cards, and wallet-size photos to standard dimensions. It’s commonly used in offices, schools, and service centers.
How do you use a manual guillotine paper cutter?
Align the paper stack against the back edge using the ruler grid. Secure it with the clamp, then lower the handle in one smooth motion for a clean cut. Always lock the blade arm after use for safety.
Who typically uses a paper cutter?

How do I maintain a paper cutter for long-term use?
Regular maintenance helps ensure safe, smooth performance. Wipe the blade clean after use, activate the safety lock when stored, and never cut more than the recommended sheet capacity.
For guillotine cutters, check and tighten screws occasionally and apply a drop of oil to the hinge for consistent cutting over time.
