A1 Guillotine Paper Cutter – Precision Cutting for Large Format Paper & Posters

Perfect for print shops, offices, schools, design studios, and professional finishing use across New Zealand

If you need accurate, straight-edge cutting for large sheets such as posters, plans, blueprint paper, card stock, craft paper, and oversized prints, the A1 Guillotine Paper Cutter delivers professional-grade performance with reliable safety features and precise trimming. Designed for high-volume workflows and handling A1 format (and larger) sheets, this cutter supports businesses, schools, and creative professionals in achieving clean, sharp edges with efficiency and ease throughout New Zealand.

Description – A1 Guillotine Paper Cutter

The A1 Guillotine Paper Cutter is a heavy-duty, manual cutting machine engineered for large format trimming and precise edge finishes. Its robust design combines a stable baseboard, hardened steel cutting blade, ergonomic handle, and integrated safety features to deliver professional-grade performance suitable for high-volume environments.

Featuring a cutting width that accommodates A1 paper (up to approximately 594 mm wide) and larger materials, this guillotine cutter provides exceptional utility for printers, sign makers, architects, and art departments. Unlike small desktop trimmers that are limited to A4 or A3 sizes, this large cutter handles bigger sheets with consistent accuracy, making it ideal for posters, signage, large presentations, and format printing jobs.

The baseboard is engineered from thick, laminated MDF or durable composite materials, reinforced with metal edging for structural integrity. A grid and measurement scale are printed or etched on the surface, allowing quick alignment and repeatability of cuts. Adjustable paper stops or side fences help secure sheets in place for batch work and ensure straight, consistent cropping every time.

The blade itself is made of hardened steel with a precision-sharpened edge designed for clean cuts through various materials including standard copier paper, card, cardstock, laminated sheets, and lightweight board. An ergonomic lever handle provides mechanical advantage, reducing user fatigue during repetitive cuts while giving the operator smooth, powerful downward motion for a precise slice.

Safety is an integral design element. Many models incorporate a transparent safety guard that covers the blade area during cutting, preventing accidental finger contact. Additional features can include blade lock mechanisms for safe storage, non-slip feet to stabilise the unit on benches or tabletops, and built-in blade clamps that hold the paper flat against the base for cleaner results.

The A1 Guillotine Paper Cutter supports a variety of use cases across industries:

• Print shop trimming of posters, flyers, and plans
  
• Office finishing work for presentations and large documents
  
• School and education art and craft preparation
  
• Architecture and engineering plan cutting
  
• Graphic design and signage workflows
  
• DIY poster projects and exhibition materials
  

Maintenance of the cutter is straightforward. Occasional blade sharpening or replacement ensures continued clean cutting performance. The cutting board can be kept free of paper debris simply by wiping or vacuuming the surface between uses.
