Moreover, the cutting apparatus can form fold-mark on the article to be cut and folded such that the article can be easily cut and folded.
To achieve above object, the cutting apparatus of the present invention comprises a casing, a driving mechanism and an upper roller set. The roller set comprises a first roller, a second roller, a third roller and a fourth roller parallel to each other and rollers have a plurality of cutting blades and fold-mark forming blades. The driving mechanism has a motor to rotate the rollers and has a controller to control the rotation direction of the motor. The cutting apparatus provides two inlets for articles to be cut and has fold-mark function, whereby the paper or cardboard can be cut to desired size and folded.
