How do I cut plastic bands?

When you’re dealing with packages, it’s important that the tools you’re using to open them are safe and efficient.

There are many different ways packages are “packaged”. Whether they’re bound in tape, stretch wrap, or plastic straps or bands, you’ll want a tool that can efficiently eliminate the hassle of removing strong packaging.

At Safecutters Inc, we have an impressive range of safety knives that can be used for a variety of different materials and jobs. Specifically, we want to focus on the safety tools that are best when it comes to cutting plastic straps and bands.

Did you know there is a best way to cut plastic straps and bands? When using a safety cutter for cutting a tight band, cut the band on a 45 degree angle because the key to efficiency is slicing them in a diagonal direction! This will ensure the blade is sliced quickly and swiftly.
