Today i will introduce in detail the materials that can be cut by card cutters
With the increasing demand for various cards in commercial applications, card cutters are becoming more and more popular due to their efficient card-making capabilities. However, which card materials can be used for cutting by card cutters? What should be noted when selecting materials? This article will provide readers with comprehensive answers.
I. The range of materials that card cutters can typically handle cutting
1. Paper cards
Various paper cards with thicknesses ranging from 0.28-0.4mm, including photo paper coated with a glossy finish, copper plate paper with a pressed texture surface, sand glossed paper with a soft feel, double-sided high-copper paper, and semi-gloss paper etc., are one of the main applicable materials for card cutters.
2. Plastic PVC cards
Plain PVC cards without additives, as well as enhanced PET-G cards, smart cards with embedded magnetic strips or IC chips, and other plastic cards with thicknesses ranging from 0.28-0.8mm, are also common cutting materials used by card cutters.
PET plastic cards
3. PET plastics have advantages such as heat resistance and corrosion resistance. Unreinforced PET cards of about 0.7-0.8mm, and reinforced ones up to 1mm and above, can also be cut precisely.
4. Copper and aluminum sheet materials
Copper sheet cards with thicknesses below 0.2mm, and aluminum sheet cards below 0.1mm, as relatively thin metal card materials, can also be normally cut by the cutters.
II. Points to note when selecting materials
1. Check the technical specifications of the cutter and control the material size to match the cutting range.
2. Compared to metals with greater hardness, soft paper and plastic cards are easier to cut.
3. Excessively hard materials can accelerate blade wear.
4. Long narrow materials should be fixed during cutting to prevent displacement.
5. Test cuts should be made first on scrap materials when cutting a new material for the first time.
6. For uncertainties about the cutting effect of special materials, consult the manufacturer for professional advice.
In summary, the types of materials that card cutters can handle are quite extensive. Users should choose material specifications that match the machine, and take necessary auxiliary cutting measures according to the characteristics of the materials, in order to achieve efficient and precise cutting results.
