Gift wrapping paper/label paper slitting: used for slitting colored gift wrapping paper and self-adhesive label base paper. When cutting with a flat edge circular knife, it does not damage the printed pattern and film layer on the surface of the paper, and the edges are neat without serrations, ensuring the beauty of the packaging paper; The cutting accuracy can reach ± 0.1mm, which is suitable for the correct cutting of small-sized paper products such as label paper, and meets the needs of subsequent die-cutting and labeling.
3、 Office paper processing: adapted to standardized mass production, ensuring convenient office use
The specifications of office paper products are unified and the demand is high. The flat edged circular knife is suitable for cutting and slitting various types of office paper, ensuring the correct size and neat edges of the paper products, and adapting to the standardized use requirements of office scenes.
Copy paper/printing paper cutting: The core application is to cut large base paper into standard office paper such as A4, A3, B5, etc. The flat mouth circular knife can achieve simultaneous cutting of multiple layers of paper. After cutting, the edges of the paper stack are flat and aligned, without skew or burrs, and the paper is not easy to warp, ensuring smooth feeding during copying and printing, and high cutting efficiency, suitable for large-scale production of office paper.
Note paper/notebook inner page cutting: used for cutting note paper to a fixed length, cutting and trimming notebook inner pages. The flat edge is round and the blade edge is delicate, making it less prone to tearing or damage when cutting thin paper, ensuring that the note paper is easy to tear and the edges are neat; At the same time, it can correctly control the cutting size and adapt to the internal page requirements of different specifications of notebooks and notebooks.
Fax paper/cash register paper slitting: For the thermal sensitive paper materials of roll shaped fax paper and cash register paper, the flat edge circular knife cuts evenly without damaging the thermal sensitive coating. After slitting, the edge of the paper roll is flat, ensuring clear printing and smooth paper output; Suitable for the correct cutting of narrow roll paper to meet the needs of office and supermarket cash registers.
4、 Printing paper processing: Suitable for cutting, ensuring the quality of printed products
Printing paper products (such as books, brochures, and flyers) have strict requirements for cutting accuracy and edge smoothness. Flat edged circular knives undertake core processes such as slitting, trimming, and cutting, and are key cutting tools for post printing processing.
Book and brochure cutting: used for cutting and trimming the inner pages of books and brochures. A flat edged circular knife can correctly cut large printed paper pages, trimming off burrs and excess white space, making the page numbers and edges of books neat and uniform, without serrations or burrs, and improving the beauty and browsing feel of books; Support synchronous cutting of multi-layer paper sheets to improve processing efficiency before binding.
Billet/Poster Cutting: After printing, large promotional flyers and posters are cut into finished products of a certain size using a flat edged circular knife. After cutting, the edges are straight and flat, without any pattern damage or rough edges, ensuring the display effect of promotional materials; Simultaneously adapting to customized cutting requirements for posters and flyers of different sizes, with controllable accuracy.
Bill paper cutting: For bills such as invoices, receipts, and express delivery notes, a flat edged circular knife can achieve precise cutting to a certain length.
