Sometimes you are faced with a cutting task that requires more grunt than scissors are able to deliver. In those situations, a safety box cutter is the most capable and least dangerous tool for the job.

What Are Safety Box Cutters and How Can You Use Them?

Safety box cutters are compact, handheld tools that are specially designed to cut thin materials. They typically include an ergonomic handle designed for ease of use and a removable razor blade that can be replaced whenever it goes dull. A good, safe box cutter will also include features for increased blade control, exposure and retraction.

While their namesake function is to cut and open cardboard boxes, they’re also handy for office work, arts and crafts or other odd jobs. For example, safety box cutters are adept at cutting plastic string or twine, stripping materials, executing precise cuts and more.

Safety blade box cutters are lightweight and compact, making them pocketable for easy transportation. This versatility means they’re commonly used in household, office and industrial applications. Once you understand how to use box cutters and utility knives, you'll enjoy the added safety offered with these tools.

What Are The Features of a Safety Box Cutter?

You’ll find a variety of features on safety box cutters offered at Staples, from blade depth to handle shape.

Blade depth

Most safety blade box cutters feature 1-inch blades, but it is important to consider the materials you will be likely to cut and make a decision from there.

Blade retraction

Retractable safety cutters expose just enough of the blade to make a clean cut, reducing the risk of injury. Adding an additional layer of safety, auto-retracting cutters require the user to apply pressure on the slider to keep the blade extended while cutting. Releasing the button, automatically retracts the blade, keeping it shrouded by the handle when not in use.

Handle shape

Safety box cutters with ergonomic handles ensure control over your tool while you cut. Some handles also include a lanyard hole to keep the tool secured to your person at all times. This helps prevent loss or unauthorized use.

Durability

Some safety box cutters are great for household use while others stand up to institutional use like factory environments. For outdoor use, choose a non-rusting safe box cutter which will require less maintenance and fewer blade changes. Additionally, you can find safety cutters that are non-reactive to acids and salts.

You can also shop for safety cutters that are double-sided, feature rounded-tip blades that reduce risk of injury or pointed tips for precision. Whatever your need, Staples has the right tool for the job!

How Can You Prevent Injuries When Using Safety Blade Box Cutters?

While many of our box cutters have safety features that help to drastically reduce the chance of injury, it’s always important to practice caution during use. Here are our top tips for avoiding injury while handling safety blade box cutters:

  • Safety cutters’ sharp metal blades are dangerous for any user, especially when replacing the blade. Be extra cautious when handling or using a new blade.
  • Always wear gloves and hand protection, cut away from yourself and keep your body and extremities out of the cutting path.
  • Replace the blade often. When a blade is too dull, more force is required to make a cut. This decreases control and can lead to the blade slipping and personal injury.
  • Dispose of used blades properly and never leave blades lying around or unsheathed. These bad habits are likely to cause accidents.
  • Keep your safety blade box cutter in a safe place out of reach of children.
