Paper Cutter
Scissors are fine for one sheet. For anything more — trimming photos, cutting flyers to size, preparing handouts, or slicing stacks of printed material cleanly — you need a proper paper cutter. The right tool gives you a perfectly straight edge every time, with none of the drift you get from freehand cutting.
WOW Supplies carries two types of paper cutters: guillotines for cutting thick stacks in one clean chop, and rotary trimmers for precise single or small-batch cutting with a rolling blade. Brands available include Fellowes and Rexel — both trusted names in office cutting tools. Price range from RM56 to RM1,600.

Frequently Asked Questions — Paper Cutter Malaysia
What is the difference between a guillotine and a rotary trimmer?
A guillotine has a long straight blade that comes down onto a stack of paper — think of a lever arm you press down to cut through multiple sheets at once. It handles thicker stacks quickly and is better for high-volume cutting. A rotary trimmer uses a small circular blade that slides along a rail — you push it from one end to the other to cut. It is more precise for single sheets or small batches and is safer to use since the blade is enclosed. For most offices, a rotary trimmer is sufficient. For print shops or anyone regularly cutting thick stacks, a guillotine is faster and more practical.
Should I get an A4 or A3 paper cutter?
Buy based on the largest paper size you regularly work with. If you only ever cut A4 documents, photos, or flyers — an A4 cutter is sufficient and takes up less desk space. If you work with A3 posters, spreads, or print materials, you need an A3 cutter. An A3 cutter can also handle A4 and smaller sizes, so if you occasionally need A3 but mostly do A4, the A3 model gives you more flexibility.
What does 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 mean on a rotary trimmer?
Some rotary trimmers come with interchangeable blade cartridges that allow different types of cuts beyond a straight line. A 3-in-1 trimmer typically includes straight cut, wave cut, and perforated cut blades. A 4-in-1 trimmer adds one more option such as a score blade (for folding) or a different decorative cut. These are popular for craft work, card making, and preparing printed materials with decorative edges. The Rexel SmartCut A200 (3-in-1) and A425 (4-in-1) are examples of multi-blade trimmers in our range.
