Flatbed Cutter Coroplast

Signs made out of corrugated plastic, or ‘Coroplast,’ are much more common than many of us think, and for good reason. Coroplast is a lightweight and versatile material known for its budget-friendly prices, as well as its weather-resistant durability against wear and tear. 


Made from polypropylene plastic, Coroplast consists of two flat plastic sheets that are sealed together with an added layer of corrugated plastic in between for extra strength. This type of material is not used just for signs. Coroplast’s versatility makes it a popular choice when it comes to a wide range of projects. 


When it comes to working with Coroplast, however, many people express concern about cutting through it. Do you use a large flatbed cutter? Is the process similar to the process of cutting acrylic plexiglass? Do you need a flatbed die-cutter type of machine? It can quickly become overwhelming. Let’s dive into the ins and outs of flatbed cutter Coroplast!

Cutting Through Coroplast 

Do not let the name fool you–Coroplast might sound very intricate and complex, but it really is a very easy type of material to cut. The thinner a material is, the easier it is to cut, and corrugated plastic is not as thick as many people assume it to be. 


Ranging in thickness from two millimeters to ten millimeters, you can rest assured that there is a tool out there that will cut through Coroplast with ease and efficiency. While you can opt for a Stanley knife, a utility knife, or even a pair of scissors, a flatbed cutter will do the job more accurately and with less work on your part. 

What Is a Flatbed Cutter?

A flatbed cutter is a cutter plotter that features a flat surface and a motorized cutting knife that cuts along both an x-axis and a y-axis. It is widely known for its accuracy and precision and its ability to cut simple and intricate shapes and designs.
