this item is small enough to find on just about any surface. It measures 15.5" x 6" x 5.5".

Most modern businesses have a staggering amount
of expenses, including the cost of supplies. Business cards are one of
those expenses and the cost of them can really add up, especially if an
outside firm creates them. Having the ability to create business ID's
in-house can really lead to some substantial savings and due to the
popularity of high quality color printers, this is a possibility for
many organizations. However, once the cards are all printed, the task
of cutting them remains. That's where a cutter can be helpful and one
of the latest ones to hit the market is the CardMate Manual Business
Card Cutter. This new device has a bunch of strengths and a few
weaknesses. Continue reading to learn about this machine. Then you will
know if this product will be a good fit for the needs of your
organization.

The Strengths:

• First and foremost, this machine offers users an
  inexpensive way of creating their own business cards. The unit's price
  is in the neighborhood of $100.00 and since most users will already
  have a printer, computer, and software, this product is a great option
  for people who need business cards but don't want to put out the cost
  of having an off-site print shop do it.
• The CardMate is very
  easy to use and anyone could learn how to use it in a matter of
  minutes. It can feasibly cut up to about 60 cards in the same amount of
  seconds.
• This device is capable of dealing with everyday bond paper as well as card stock.
• This
  is a very lightweight product that only weighs 6 pounds. Because of its
  weight it could be shared easily amongst several different departments
  which could help users save even more money.
• In addition to not weighing much, this item is small enough to find on just about any surface. It measures 15.5" x 6" x 5.5".
• No power is required to operate this machine. It can be used anywhere.

The Weaknesses:

• Although the machine can cut cards pretty quickly, it is
  disappointing that you can only cut one sheet at a time. Being able to
  cut multiple sheets would be a real time-saver.
• The housing
  of this device is made out of plastic which is hardly the most durable
  material out there. If you use this device a lot, you may have to
  replace it eventually.
• You can only cut cards that measure
  2" x 3.5". While this is a standard business card size, it would be
  nice if you could cut different sized cards. It would definitely make
  the CardMate more versatile. Many customers have asked if this machine
  allows you to adjust the cutting size or margins. Unfortunately, it
  does not.
• The device only has a limited 90-day-warranty.

The CardMate Business Card Cutter is an adequate machine that would be
good for light use in your office. It will definitely save you some
money but it would be better if this device could cut more than one
sheet of paper at once. If you need a simple cutter, this machine would
be a good, inexpensive choice.
