Hydraulic Cutting

We offer cutting services for printing we do in house, and sometimes printing you bring us. Our current large cutting machine is a 1960s vintage Challenge Machine hydraulic paper cutter. It has the capacity to cut paper up to 30.5″ wide, a max depth-of-cut at 30.25″, and a pile height of 3.25″. That’s about 500 sheets of text weight paper, or 250 sheets of card stock, sometimes more, sometimes less. Your cutting fees are figured into your final price for pieces we print and cut for you. For printed pieces you bring us, costs start at $5 for simple processes like cutting something in half. The larger the sheet, the more cuts, and paper that requires more than one ‘lift’ (3.25″ or more inches of paper) all increase the price. Sometimes it’s still just $5, sometimes it’s a lot more. Give us a call with your specifications and we’ll quote you right on the phone.

Cutting Services by Hand

On occasion we are also asked to cut down laminated pieces to squares, rectangles, or following particular shapes. This is quoted on a per job basis and is almost always based on an hourly rate. Please Call us with your project!
