Cutting corruplast

Recommended Posts

What is he best way to cut it? Our school has paw prints that are perfectly detailed. Are they cut using dies? I've also seen letters cut as well.

coroplast cuts like butter with a standard utility knife. (I'll do so on my self-healing mat, and slice&dice 4x8 sheets to whatever dimensions I require -- usually 2'x3' pieces for inserts to sign frames).

 

If you have the graphic, run it through your cutter on vinyl, adhere the decal to the coroplast, and follow the edge of the paw with your razor knife.

 

As to your question about how they made the paw you saw already done -- yes, it's a die-cut.

Yeah...maybe you guys have the strength to "cut like butter"...

:blink: but I don't!  

Even a straight cut with the utility knife is tough for for this ole gal!

 

Wouldn't want to hand cut paw prints.

Maybe use a scroll saw or a band saw to cut them out could try a saber saw also then somehow smooth the edges out with a sander of some sorts.

scroll saw would be best due to how small the blade is and you can adjust the speed to a real slow speed if you went that route. but normally i use a small box knife to cut it
