paper cutting

I used a paper cutter for my STD labels. I have 2 kinds, I have a big one that has a handle that cuts the paper and I have a small one that slides the blade over the paper. I found that the large one is so much easier to use. It's easier to see where your cutting at with it. Also if your label has a border then I suggest that you make the border a little bit thicker than you wanted it and use that as a guide as to where your should cut it at....You can also take them to Kinko's and they can cut them out for you. I'm not sure how much they charge......hope that helps

i used the 'chopping' motion paper cutter. It gives you a staging area, unlike the sliding cutters, so you dont bend your paper etc.

Also with the chopping ones, you can get a cleaner line, and they typically have rulers at the top and an etched base in inch or half inch increments

I would NOT recommend kinkos - I do a ton of art projects and presentations and they have the uncanny ability to mess up entire reams of paper (like them measuring in inches and not centimeters and carlessly cropping half a photo... common sense people!)

The paper cutters are affordable and you will find a use for it again no doubt
