About US.

Founded 4 years ago in Seattle Washington, US Cutter gave a new group of business people access to the world of cutting vinyl by introducing the first affordable vinyl cutters to the North American Market.    US Cutter quickly gained a reputation for delivering quality products at the best prices.  By supporting its products with industry leading warranties and dedicated technical support technicians, US Cutter has given thousands of customers the opportunity to make money cutting vinyl for vehicles, signs, t shirts and more. 

Now US Cutter seeks to take its business model of being the low cost producer of sign and t-shirt making equipment to sign supplies.  At the beginning of 2008 US Cutter began offering intermediate vinyl to its customers.  The response was incredible and US Cutter began adding new products each month with the goal of being a full service sign and equipment supplier. 

US cutter is dedicated to utilizing technology, strong vendor relationships, and an active customer forum to be the largest and the lowest cost provider of sign, craft, and garment making equipment and supplies in the world. 

To accomplish this goal US Cutter has assembled a diverse team of professionals.
