The Bulman paper cutter is made out of steel, has a rod with a built-in double-edged blade for cutting paper, and accommodates up to 9"-diameter rolls of paper. The steel construction of the paper cutter provides strength to hold heavy 9" rolls of paper, while the gray powder-coated finish helps resist corrosion for prolonged use. Paper rolls fit on a dowel supported by two dowel holders on the cutter's ends; to help facilitate roll changing, the dowel holders lock in the open position. A rod runs horizontally across the paper roll to hold paper in place for cutting; a built-in double-edged blade runs along the rod and allows cutting both over- and under- hanging paper.

Rubber feet prevent the cutter from scratching surfaces when freestanding on tables or counters. The paper cutter can be installed on a counter's top or underside, or be wall mounted (hardware sold separately) to suit different applications and workspace preferences. The paper cutter is suitable for trimming butcher, craft, and giftwrap paper in schools, restaurants, warehouses, gift shops, and other commercial stores, among other applications.

Bulman manufactures dispensers and cutters for paper, food film, tape, twine, ribbon, and other rolled materials. The company is headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI.
