Safety Knives for your Shipping and Receiving Department
Safety Knives for your Shipping and Receiving Department
It’s no secret that the business atmosphere is constantly changing and shifting, but one thing that never loses priority: efficiency and safety.
And for those businesses that have shipping and receiving departments, maintaining an efficient day-to-day practice without compromising on safety is crucial. In order to maintain these two business essentials, you’ll want to consider safety knives. Keep reading to learn how safety knives will enhance your shipping and receiving departments in more ways than one.
What type of safety knives are required for a shipping and receiving department?
What’s the first thing you think of when you think of a shipping and receiving department? Cardboard boxes. And with those cardboard boxes come tape, plastic banding, shrink wrap, and more.
All of these things will need to be opened or cut at some point, and that can take time and risk an opportunity for injury. Safety knives are here to prevent that.
Cardboard is not “one size fits all”. It comes in various thickness and durability levels, and when you’re looking for a smooth, accurate cut that opens the boxes without posing any damage to the contents inside, you’ll need Safecutters Safety Knives.
What are the different safety knife options for my shipping and receiving department?
There are several different styles of safety knives depending on what you are working with. You may require disposable safety knives, safety knives with replacement blades, or safety knives that are multi-functional.
For example, our Cardinal Duo Safety knife is an affordable, versatile disposable option that offers many uses on cardboard and shrink wrap. It’s best for speed, and the design protects the user from any harm, while also increasing efficiency.
Or maybe you need something ideal for slicing through a wide range of materials. That’s when you’ll want to consider our Easy Cut 2000. This safety knife features an easy to squeeze trigger, meaning with the press of a button the blade opens up and is ready for use. You even have the option to control the blade depth, meaning you can cut through various cardboard thickness levels while only needing one safety knife (and it even comes with a holster and lanyard!)
For cutting the tops of boxes in a quick, smooth, and convenient way that won’t cause any damage to the contents inside, you’ll want our Box Top Cutter. This safety tool features a squeeze handle for excellent comfort, and the lightweight design with minimal blade exposure is ideal for maintaining safety and convenience at all times.
If you are in need of something a bit more heavy duty, the Nummo Safety Knife is a great choice. This safety knife is ergonomically designed for maximum comfort, and features auto retracting abilities to keep you accident free on the job. And the best part? It’s designed for cutting cardboard on one end, and cutting tape and plastic banding on the other end for optimal efficiency.

Besides safety knives, what else is needed in my shipping and receiving department?
Once you’ve gotten your hands on your new favorite safety knife, it’s time to consider wearing a lanyard or holster to keep your safety knife easily accessible. Time is precious, and there’s nothing more wasteful than losing your best tool or leaving it on one end of the warehouse while you’re on the other. For ways to keep your safety knife securely and safely within reach consider our Leather Clip Holster or Coiled Lanyard.
