Metal rulers and cutting mats

Measure packaging and cut a paper sample before committing to a label size.

Before you choose: Choose readable units and a mat big enough for the job. A paper sample checks fit; it does not verify adhesive performance.

Start with the job, then choose the tool.

Consider your typical batch size, workspace and the equipment you already have. Compare dimensions and compatibility before adding another tool. A bigger setup is not automatically the right one for a smaller batch.
