Is it sharp enough to punch plastic wrap without tearing?

No. I have not had success using it to cut stickers with a plastic coating or to cut plastic lighting materials.

NO! I've tried. It cuts 110 lb cardstock, and 155 lb tag weight very nicely. But just can't cut plastic.

I am not positive we have since thrown this away. My son is pretty rough on his folders and the plastic tore. It is a heavey plastic so i was worried he would get cut on it. Sorry we couldn't help. It was a little taller than standard papers. His papers all fit inside without being seen over the top though.

Plastic can be peeled back, and cut! DO NOT cut against the strip, will break condition

Sure, cutting would be easy. It's kind of like a very thick version of the bubble wrap that is sometimes used in packaging. A lot more durable, though.

no the plastic is thermoset and not easy to cut, you will leave sharp edges. my kitten was unable to swat at the ball and I already put the whole thing in the garbage.

I'm using it for metal cuts, I have had some plastic covering on the metal that it cut through. More of a melting of the plastic. It probably is not good for the blade.

It is definitely strong/sharp enough to fut through a potato. I do it all the time. On carrots I cut and then roll so that the cuts are in opposite sides (a bit OCD here). The trick is to hold it with the thumb and first finger above the actual blade. Easy peasy.

This machine is designed to punch plastic as well as paper, but you won't be able to punch as many sheets of plastic as of paper. Make sure it fits loosely and easily into the slot before punching.

I think it would punch through just fine. Mine works great on heavy cardstock, so I think it would be fine with the vinyl. The design of these punches makes them very easy to use, so your hand doesn't get as tired punching multiple times.

It's a hard plastic so it will do some damage. I think it would depend on what kind of strike you're talking about. A slashing strike on clothes would do almost no damage, where a point strike would leave a mark even through a couple thin layers.

I would say yes, given what the blade is and the ease of use of the handle, but I can't say that from experience. (I mostly use it for cutting tape on shipping packages, as well as the cardboard itself.)

Sorry but i would need further explanation of the type of plastic you are cutting and the thickness and i will answer to the best of my ability Brand of the plastic and type would be helpful. Steve

Its thin plastic, but seems to be pretty sturdy. I don't think a pair of scissors would hold up. A box cutter might be able to score it enough to cut through. I just pushed the extra length under my desk.

I did not use it for plastic...it gets hot but ..I would assume it would melt the plastic not leaving a clean cut

Hi, Ours is fairly inflexible plastic. It's easy to cut; at no point is the plastic thicker than a few millimeters. We used a hacksaw. We've had ours for years now and it still works and looks as good as the day we bought it. No warping or cracking, and unless you look closely you can't even notice the knife marks on it (you know, when you're not paying attention and you miss the slot and slice or poke into the plastic a bit). Would recommend.
