Best Stack Paper Trimmers of 2025

"I didn't realize how much I needed this until I used it. It cuts perfectly and is easy to move around. The only downside is that the handle doesn't lock, which makes it a bit risky when shifting."

"For my son's first birthday party, I needed to trim a lot of printed decor. This paper cutter worked beautifully. It was easy to handle and the cuts were great. Plus, it has a locking mechanism for safety!"

"I bought the Amazon Basics paper cutter for cutting flashcards. It did the job, but I found the blade a bit dull, which made it slower. Still, considering the price, it's decent for light use."

“I think this cutter is fantastic! It makes precise cuts and, once I got the hang of the guide, I can achieve very straight lines. I also love the safety latch; it’s lightweight yet feels sturdy.”

“I recently picked up the Swingline Paper Cutter LITE, and I'm thrilled with its performance. It provides precision cutting and is lightweight, making it easy to move and store. The safety features are great, especially with kids around. It’s incredibly easy to use, and I appreciate the durability after several weeks of daily use.”

“This is not the heavy-duty cutter I expected. It’s very lightweight and made of thin materials, but for my needs at home, it’s perfect. I mostly cut cardstock for greeting cards, and it does a nice job with straight, clean cuts. Just be cautious as it doesn’t cut thicker materials well.”

"I was skeptical at first, but after using it on day one, I found it cuts 5.5-inch pieces easily. The instructions were simple, though I had to figure out the feet on my own. I love that it can handle heavyweight cardstock without hassle, and the cuts are exactly what I needed. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase!"

"This cutter has truly changed my life for my small stationery business. It cuts through 100 sheets of cardstock effortlessly, significantly speeding up my production. The ruler for measuring is a bit tricky, but that's a minor issue. After heavy use, I did notice some wear on the blade pad, but I can easily rotate it for continued use. I'm very satisfied!"

"I'm really impressed with this paper cutter! The sharp blade cuts through multiple sheets with ease, and I appreciate the safety features. Setting up the paper alignment is straightforward thanks to the clear grid. This is definitely a solid investment for anyone needing a reliable cutting tool!"

"I've been wanting one of these for a while! I create various graphics that need bulk cutting, and this cutter has truly impressed me with its cutting accuracy. Just a word of caution: the blade is extremely sharp. I removed the guard to clear scrap paper and almost cut my thumb off—definitely user error. Overall, I'm really happy with this cutter!"

"After using this guillotine for over six months, I can say it works well for my book binding needs. It cuts easily through all my pages, and the safety features are great—I really value my fingers! However, I can't fully trust the measurements on the base, and the guide wiggles a bit. I've developed a method with cardboard guides to ensure clean cuts, which usually works well."

"I've had this cutter for about a month, but it's already cutting at an angle and the paper press is broken, making it unusable. I'm really disappointed; this has been one of the worst purchases I've made."

"Although it's a bit pricey, it works perfectly for me! At almost 80 years old with an arthritic shoulder, I use it several times daily, and it has lasted through hundreds of uses."

"I really enjoy this paper cutter, but I've had a couple of mishaps with my hands near the blade area. The cutter is sharp and should be kept away from children. I often secure the safety latch with a rubber band for safety, but it does make nice cuts!"

"I'm thrilled with this purchase! It cuts very neatly, and the handle feels great. Just be cautious because it's extremely sharp. I love the sound it makes when I press down!"

Highly recommend!"

"I had been using a cheaper cutter that didn't cut straight. This one is a dream! It cuts large stacks of paper consistently and cleanly, saving me a lot of time for my book binding projects. After a few test cuts to remove some residue, it delivers great results!"

"As someone who binds books as a hobby, I was excited to get this cutter. However, my excitement dwindled as I noticed issues with the accuracy of the cuts. Many users have reported the same problems, and while some solutions have been suggested, it seems the manufacturer hasn't addressed these concerns. Straight cuts are a major issue."

"I received my paper cutter with some minor damage, but I don't mind it since the cutter works exceptionally well. Great visibility and sharp blade make my cutting tasks so much easier!"

“I absolutely love how it cuts 20 pages of card stock effortlessly! Just be prepared for its weight.”

“I appreciate the accuracy and clarity of this paper cutter. However, I find it challenging to gauge 1" because the edge is set back. Plus, while there are safety features, they don’t always engage consistently. I have to keep it in a separate area of the classroom.”
