easily cut yourself. Here are our best practices for cutting corrugated safely:
- Use a safety knife. These have a retractable blade that retracts when the knife is closed. They’re specially designed to prevent injuries while they’re in use. They also come with different features, such as serrated edges or an ergonomic grip.
- Double wall boxes should be cut from the bottom up instead of from the top down, because this will prevent any sharp edges from sticking out so much that they could hurt someone who touches them accidentally later on down the line (i.e., when you move them around your warehouse).
- Triple wall boxes should be cut from the top down instead of from the bottom up (like double wall boxes), because this will make sure there’s no risk of sharp edges sticking out anywhere near where people might walk through your warehouse later on down the line (i.e., when you move them around your warehouse).
The importance of a safe cutting technique cannot be overstated because any damage caused by unsafe cutting practices can result in serious injury. When you’re working with corrugated, you should always wear protective gloves and eye protection to protect yourself from sharp edges or flying debris.
There are many different types of safety knives available on the market today, so it’s important that you choose one that meets your needs and offers the best value for your money. We recommend using a knife with an ergonomic handle design that fits comfortably in your hand while providing maximum control when cutting through corrugated materials.
