Scissors Maped 17 cm — Maped 17 cm handheld scissors

Maped 17 cm scissors are compact handheld scissors with a 17-centimeter blade length designed for everyday cutting tasks in office, school and craft environments. Their balanced size and blade geometry provide accurate trimming of paper, card and other light materials, making them suitable for routine stationery work, creative projects and basic document preparation.

Advantages

The scissors combine a compact 17 cm form factor with a precise cutting edge that supports clean, straight cuts and controlled detail work. Their lightweight design ensures comfortable handling during extended use while the blunt tips and symmetric handles suit both right- and left-handed users for general tasks. The blade finish reduces snags on thin materials and helps maintain consistent performance for common applications.

• Cutting paper and lightweight card for school assignments and office documents
• Trimming photographs, labels and packaging materials
• Basic craft and hobby tasks such as cutting shapes and decorative elements

Key specifications

• Overall blade length: 17 cm
• Intended materials: paper, light card, thin film and similar lightweight materials

How to use

Hold the Maped 17 cm scissors with the fingers in the handles and the thumb in the opposite loop, aligning the blades with the cutting line. Use smooth, controlled strokes to make straight cuts or small snips for detailed shapes. For thicker or layered materials, cut in multiple shallow passes rather than forcing the blades through at once. After use, store the scissors in a safe place away from moisture to preserve blade condition.

Usage recommendations

Use these scissors for routine office, school and craft tasks on paper and light card. Avoid cutting hard or metal objects to prevent blade damage. Periodically wipe blades clean and dry, and store them closed to maintain cutting performance and safety.
