What Is A Paper Trimmer?

A paper trimmer has a titanium-bonded blade to evenly cut through paper and other materials. One movement of the blade cuts across the entire length of the paper in a matter of seconds. Trimmers handle multiple pages at a time without skewing the cut line, so employees can tackle a large job quickly. If cutting is a major part of the job in your office, make your employees more efficient with this simple tool. Plus, you don’t need to outsource any complicated print jobs that require cutting to other companies.

How Can Paper Cutters Be Used?

Paper cutters can be used to cut out business cards, labels, bookmarks, name tags, signs, invitations, decorations, postcards, and much more. They can also be used to create scrap paper out of large sheets for note taking. Paper trimmers are ideal for eliminating any extra borders on photographs, certificate paper, and other important documents. Use them for all of your arts and crafts projects as well.

What Types of Paper Trimmers Are Available?

There are various types of paper trimmers available. Some trays can cut through up to ten sheets of paper while other heavy-duty paper cutters can handle over 1,000 sheets for large jobs. Certain models have a sliding rotary blade while others feature guillotine or rolling trimmers. Smaller portable paper edge cutters are available, as well as large 36” cutters.

Some paper cutters can stack paper up to 38” long to cut through the thickest amounts of paper. Quill carries paper edge cutters from a variety of trusted brands like Fellowes, Scotch, Westcott, and more. View Quill’s selection of scissors to ensure you have everything you need to trim the paper.

Why Should You Shop for A Paper Edge Cutter?

Some jobs don't have to be perfect, but for professional cutting projects, straight lines are essential to a quality finished product. Cutting with scissors often results in inconsistent cuts. Even the most steady hand can't cut a perfectly straight line every time.

A guillotine paper cutter uses a long blade or a razor-type blade that moves along a track to make one smooth, straight cut—all that's needed is to line up the paper with the guide on the trimmer. Most paper trimmers come with a grid printed on the base to help line up the paper and get the correct length or width of cuts. Keep your office stocked with quality paper edge cutters to ensure straight lines every time!
