Questions & Answers
If it's brand new, the instructions should be on the handle, but if it's not, you may need to open the handle part and turn it back and forth a few times.
It's nothing more than a crumpled piece of paper. Nothing is sealed by it.
You do, after all. When you run your paper through it, it easily crimps it. It's so cool that I went out and bought another one.
Sure. It is more effective than competing brands. The folds in a magazine page may not be as strong as they would be on heavier paper.
Selected User Reviews For UCHIDA Corru-Gator Paper Crimper, 8-1/2-Inch, Straight
This product's image isn't even of the actual product; it's of the crimped paper. That almost convinced me to disregard the listing. I'll include a photo of the actual paper crimper in this post. br>br>Having said that, it's a fantastic crimper! It creates straight lines across your page, regardless of the angle at which the paper is inserted. By running the paper through the machine at various angles, you can create patterns. Crimped paper adds dimension to a scrapbook page or greeting card. Crimp green paper to make a Christmas tree, use crimped paper as a mat for a picture, make a fall themed card/page, and use crimped paper for a haystack are just a few ideas. There are so many possibilities. The fact that this crimper can handle up to eight different types of paper. It can be used for a variety of sizes thanks to the 5" paper. br>br>I've seen a lot of smaller and less expensive crimpers, as well as ones that are poorly made. This is a fantastic deal that will come in handy for any paper crafter. Mine is one of my favorites.
Great for making your own chipbag covers.
The only issue I have is that the color of the paper transfers to the rollers, which can cause problems when working on a project with a different color scheme.
I made chip bags out of it.
When I took it out of the package, it appeared to have been used previously because it was covered in glue or some other type of adhesive! I assumed I'd need it, so when I tried to use it, the turning piece did nothing. It was cracked on the inside when I looked inside! I needed this for a 4th of July party, but all I have now is a piece of plastic! So upset!.
This item was made in a substandard manner. It was impossible to turn the side dial, and I'm extremely disappointed with the worst customer service I've ever received from any Amazon product. I returned the original item and requested that a new one be sent in its place. I received the exact same item that they had sent to them! I've since returned the second item and have yet to receive a refund! It's been over a month! I will not be purchasing from this company again because of the poor customer service and the horrible, non-working product.
I made custom chip bags with these for my baby's birthday party, and they turned out beautifully. The crimper was simple to use and cost a small amount of money.
