Zip 5 Card Cutter

The Zip 5 cutter/slitter has been designed to handle 5 fixed sizes of cards produced by a variety of printing methods.

The Zip 5 machine uses a fixed blade cassette to remove a 10mm vertical gutter from between the two rows of cards and to trim both edges of the sheet.

A guillotine blade cuts the sheet horizontally as it advances through the machine removing a 3mm gutter. Four fixed lengths are selectable from the control panel and each one can be finely adjusted to compensate for image drift or paper stretch.

The combination of in-line adjustable slitting with programmable guillotine cutting allows common products to be accurately processed in a single pass.

All finished cards are produced with gutter cuts on all four edges, the Zip 5 allows designers to specify a full bleed image.
