How hard is it to cut 2 pieces of cardboard???

48 posts in this topic

I don't get it. Why do the majority of people I buy comics from pack like . I just recieved a book today and it is only by chance that it did not get damaged in transit. Is it so hard to cut two pieces of cardboard and sandwich the book between them. The book came from a power seller of comics and an acclaimed advisor to the OBG and should know better.

Ahhh.. I could go on but I am sure this subject has been presented here before but it is frustrating and I needed to let off some steam. crazy.gif

I eat cardboard for lunch. What's left over I use for packing.

i will admit my last batch of self-cut cardboard did not have such straight edges

I use a three foot metal ruler. I put the marks on it with a black marker for the dimensions I want. then I just draw the lines and use a straight blade utility knife. It goes pretty fast. I always keep plenty of back up cardboard in case of a run. lol

I started using these a few years ago and they're excellent. I also get cardboard from a local shipper that works great and they save me the perfect size strips.

 

Yeah, this thread looks a bit old lol
