Using a measuring tape

Here's a little refresher on how to use a measure tape. First, let's talk about the increments. We'll assume that you're using the English or Imperial system of feet and inches. Extend your tape measure several inches and find the large 1 and 2. On most English measuring tape, the smallest increment is 1/16 of an inch. This means that there are 16 equally spaced marks between 1 and 2 inches on the tape. When measuring, count how many of these marks you are beyond the nearest inch. If your piece measures 7 inches and other 8 marks, that is 8/16 (1/2) for a total of 7-1/2".Let's say you were taking your second measurement (see below) and this time you counted 9 marks past the 7 inch mark. That means your piece is actually 7-9/16" long.

The clip on the end of my measuring tape slides back and forth. Is it broken?

No! The sliding clip on the end of the tape is designed for two different types of measurements. When you take an outside measurement (where you hand the clip of the tape over an edge), the clip slides out a little to account for the thickness. When you take an inside measurement (push the clip up against a surface), the clip slides in, again accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts so, either way, you get an accurate measurement.

Measure Twice, Cut Once

Once we cut a stock size piece, we can't ever sell it as full size piece again. So, PLEASE MEASURE CAREFULLY, and DOUBLE CHECK YOUR MEASUREMENTS BEFORE YOU ORDER. The old adage is espcially true here: measure twice, cut once. WE do it before we cut your piece, and YOU should do it before you order.

HDPNEC - Overview

HDPE cutting board is engineered for durability, low maintenance and safety. Its textured, matte surface safely holds food in place without slipping. The "natural" bright white color is favored for its sanitary look.Wood and other materials absorb bacteria, splinter, chip, swell, peel, rot, warp, bend and crack. HDPE cutting board eliminates those problems, substantially outlasting cutting boards made from other materials. USDA and FDA approved, NSF certified under standard 51 stain. Acid, odor, moisture, and mildew resistant

HPDE, or High Density Polyethylene, is a very light and extremely tough, chemically resistant plastic and is one of the most commonly used plastics in the United States. It does not absorb water and has good sliding abrasion resistance in addition to being self-lubricating. High density polyethylene lends itself particularly well to blow molding, e.g. for bottles, cutting boards, dipping baskets, dippers, trays and containers.

Ready for Resale:

In addition to our cut-to-size service, we offer CNC routing for rounded corners, handles and custom shapes, including cleaning each piece to ensure that every cutting board you order is ready for resale with no additional machining or cleaning. Sell these in your store, or brand them for customer and employee appreciation gifts. Turnaround times are fast, and minimums are surprisingly affordable.

Available on bulk orders. Give us a call at (888) 768-5759 to learn more about custom cutting boards.
