Paper Cutting at Dave the Printer

Paper cutting for a printing company is very often the final step many people think of when having flyers printed, booklets or even business cards printed but there can be far more to “paper cutting” than that. 

At Dave the Printer, part of our job is to figure out the most cost-effective way to produce your job. Example: (You need 50,000 8.5 x 11 flyers). We will most likely print those on parent-size sheets and then cut out 8 finished-size flyers per 1 parent-size sheet. Fewer impressions mean faster completion time and a lower cost to you!

Our programmable cutting machine gives your finished job clean, straight-cut edges by using hardened carbide blades to cut and trim large stacks of your printed documents in an instant. Once the cuts are programmed into the cutter we can repeat the exact cuts over and over with little to no variance. 

Our custom paper cutting is the perfect solution for:

• Flyers

• Brochures

• Booklets 

• Business cards

• Invitations and announcements

• Custom-size printed items
