A vinyl cutter is a machine that is used to cut vinyl, which is a material that can be of varying thickness and used in a wide variety of applications. Some examples include sign making, letter pressing, window clings, and siding for homes.
Each application will require a different type of cutter. There are cutters that are used to cut designs into vinyl. Some cutters are used to cut long strips of siding for houses. The sizes will vary according to the application it is to be used for. There are plenty of options available.
Box Cutter
Typically the cutter in all applications works by vinyl sheets being fed into the cutter from the rear of the machine. The sheet is fed into the cutter and than cut according to the size parameters and other information supplied by the user.
Types
Some cutters are completely electronic and have a computer brain where information is input to determine where the cuts will be made. A Vinyl cutter can be programmed to cut designs into the vinyl or simply is used to cut strips.
Depending on what type of cutter is being used will determine the options that come with the cutter. In some cases the options can be rather elaborate like cutting custom edges and letters into the vinyl.
The machines can be rather large or can easily fit on a desk, again entirely determined by what the device is to be used for.
Costs
The costs will vary and will be directly related to what the vinyl cutter is going to be used for. A simple desktop model will run around one hundred dollars. A more elaborate commercial model that is used for industrial purposes will run into the thousands.
These items are not that common so usually they have to be purchased from specialty manufacturers.
The manufacturers usually do the majority of their business through online venues or through catalog sales. Very rarely will you see one sold in a store unless they are sold in a hobby or craft store, and those will be the smaller desk top models.
A vinyl cutter performs a needed service, they are easy to use and can be used to create all types of window clings, signs and other items. They are a great item to have for a club or organization that needs to raise funds by selling crafts and goods. They are also a necessary tool for some industries that produce vinyl products.
