Paper roll & sheet guide

We cut a broad range of paper stocks that are initially supplied on rolls and then converted to flat sheets for digital knife cutting. The table below is indicative only; exact suitability depends on the specific paper, coatings and job requirements.

Indicative ranges for paper roll stocks
Paper type Indicative weight range Typical use
Lightweight paper from rolls Lower GSM stocks Posters, flyers, inserts and hanging pieces.
Mid-weight coated paper Mid-range GSM Retail POS, labels, ticketing and display elements.
Heavy paper stocks (from rolls or pre-sheeted) Higher GSM papers More rigid paper components, covers and premium pieces.

*Weight ranges above are deliberately indicative. If you're working with a specific paper roll stock (for example, a known GSM and finish), include that in your enquiry so we can confirm suitability for digital knife cutting and the best setup on our 3000 × 1500 mm flatbeds.

Capabilities at a Glance — Paper Roll Cutting

Processes & Materials

  • Digital knife cutting of paper sheets converted from rolls
  • Cutting from flat sheets only (paper roll → sheet conversion required)
  • CNC routing only when heavier paper stocks demand it
  • Kiss-cutting and through-cutting (job-dependent) on suitable papers
  • Print-aligned cutting for pre-printed sheets (registration marks required)

Typical Part Types

  • Posters, hanging elements & wobblers — paper sheets
  • Ticketing, labels & header cards — coated paper
  • Campaign graphics & POS pieces — printed paper

We focus on flat paper cutting once rolls are sheeted. Folding, gluing, laminating and packing are handled by your own print, packaging or finishing partners.

Accuracy & Finish

  • Digital knife cutting avoids burn, soot or melted edges on paper
  • Suitable for high-quality printed work where edge quality matters
  • Registration to print marks where layout and graphics allow

Workflow & Nesting

  • Nesting across 3000 × 1500 mm flatbeds to reduce waste on paper sheets
  • Grouped job runs to match campaigns, stores or product lines
  • Trade-friendly packing for shipment to print houses or client warehouse

Why choose our signage cutting service?

Built for trade and rollouts

Reliable, repeatable production for sign shops, shopfitters and builders, with clear specs and predictable lead times for multi-site projects.

All major signage materials

Metals, acrylic, ACP, PVC foamboard, corflute, timber, foam and vinyl processed under one roof so your kits arrive complete and ready to assemble.

Flat parts only, done properly

We focus on cutting flat signage components only, so we stay efficient on the processes we are set up for instead of half-doing fabrication we do not specialise in.

Nesting and kitting

Smart sheet nesting and project-based kitting cut waste and simplify on-site installation. Panels can be labelled for each store or level.

Sydney manufacturing, national reach

Production in Botany with freight options across Australia. Ideal for national brand rollouts and multi-stage fitouts.

More about paper roll cutting & design

Open the items below for more detail on paper roll cutting, paper sheet cutting and design tips for digital knife jobs.

For paper POS and signage, keep key text and logos away from edges, allow for hanging points, clips or adhesive areas, and pick paper weights that match how the piece will be used (for example, stiffer stock for hanging signs or wobblers). We can review your dielines and flag any details that might cause issues in cutting or handling.

Digital knife cutting is ideal for prototypes, small to medium runs and variable designs from roll-fed stocks, avoiding tooling costs and lead times. For very large volumes of identical shapes, a traditional die may still be more economical — we can help you judge when each approach makes sense.

We typically stack and wrap cut paper pieces, with interleaving where needed to protect printed surfaces. If pieces need to be packed by store, design or campaign, we can label and batch them accordingly to simplify fulfillment in your workflow.

Most paper roll cutting jobs dispatch in 1–5 business days once artwork, material and quantities are confirmed. Larger campaigns or multi-design sets may take longer, but we'll confirm realistic timeframes up front so you can plan printing, packing and dispatch.
