In today’s fast-paced sign industry, finding ways to reduce labor-intensive tasks without compromising quality is key. The Accu-Trim EDGE from Computerized Cutters is engineered to automate and perfect the trim cap preparation process, ensuring sign makers achieve consistent, precise results every time.

Understanding Trim Cap Formation

Trim cap material serves as the plastic edging applied to the front acrylic face of a channel letter, securing attachment to the channel letter return. Traditionally, preparing trim cap material involved manual measuring, cutting, and notching – a process that was both time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies. With the Accu-Trim EDGE, that process is streamlined and automated to bring speed and consistency to your channel letter production.
