Guillotine cutting refers to a method of cutting materials using a guillotine-style blade, which typically consists of a sharp, straight-edged blade that descends vertically to shear material placed beneath it. This technique is commonly used in various industries for cutting paper, cardboard, plastics, and even certain types of metals. In a printing or publishing context, guillotine cutters are often used for trimming large stacks of paper or printed materials to specific sizes.
