LB720 Cutting Plotter for Vinyl Stickers and Sign Making

For many small sign shops, daily orders are not always big or complicated.

One customer may want a shop logo for a glass door. Another may need a few car stickers. A warehouse may ask for warning labels, while a school may need simple signs for an event. These are not large production jobs, but they still require clean and accurate cutting.

If the sticker edge is rough, or the letters are not cut properly, the finished product will look cheap. This is why a reliable cutting plotter is still an important machine for many advertising shops, sticker makers and small sign businesses.

The LB720 cutting plotter is designed for common vinyl cutting work, such as vinyl stickers, labels, signs, window decals, car stickers, reflective film and heat transfer film. It supports a 720mm media size and offers a 600mm cutting width, which is suitable for many daily orders in a small workshop.

It is not the largest model in the series, but that can actually be a benefit. For shops with limited space, the LB720 is easier to place, easier to operate and easier for new users to start with.

What does a cutting plotter do?

A cutting plotter is not the same as a printer. It does not print colors or images. Instead, it uses a small blade to cut shapes from vinyl or film material.

The working process is simple. The user prepares the design on a computer, sends the file to the machine, loads the material, and then the blade follows the cutting lines in the design. After cutting, the extra vinyl is removed by hand. The remaining letters, logos or patterns can then be applied to glass, vehicles, walls, sign boards, packaging or other surfaces.

For sign shops, this is very practical. Customers often need different sizes, different words or different logos. With a cutting plotter, the design can be changed directly in the software, so there is no need to make a separate mold for each order.

Common applications

The LB720 can handle many everyday advertising and sticker jobs.

For shop signs, it can cut window letters, store logos, business hours and simple promotional stickers. These are often used by restaurants, stores, offices and small businesses.

For car stickers, it can cut vehicle numbers, company logos, simple graphics and reflective decals. Many car decal shops use this type of vinyl cutter for custom orders.

For labels, it can be used to make warning stickers, product labels, shelf labels and equipment nameplates. This is useful for warehouses, factories and small product brands.

It can also be used for glass stickers, wall decals, office direction signs, school signs and DIY decoration stickers.

When heat transfer film is used, the LB720 can cut names, numbers and simple logos for T-shirts, uniforms and workwear. For this application, a heat press is also needed to transfer the design onto the fabric.

Materials it can cut

The LB720 is suitable for common cutting materials, including self-adhesive vinyl, reflective film, heat transfer film and sticker material.

Self-adhesive vinyl is the most widely used material. It is commonly used for shop signs, glass stickers, car decals, wall stickers and labels.

Reflective film is often used for vehicle stickers and safety signs. Since this material is usually harder than normal vinyl, it is better to test the cutting force before starting a full job.

Heat transfer film is mainly used for clothing decoration. The plotter cuts the design first, and then the design is pressed onto fabric with a heat press.

Different materials need different settings. Thin vinyl usually does not need much force. Small letters and fine lines should be cut more slowly. For thicker materials, the cutting force may need to be increased. A small test cut before production can help avoid wasted material.

Operation and features

The LB720 supports USB2.0, serial port and U disk connection. Users can choose the file transfer method that best fits their normal workflow.

The machine also has an English LCD display, which makes operation easier for overseas users.

Its cutting speed range is 20–800mm/s, and the cutting force range is 20–500g. These settings can be adjusted according to the material and the design.

For example, large and simple letters can usually be cut at a higher speed. Small logos, thin lines and detailed patterns often need slower cutting speed for better results.

The machine can work with SignMaster, Artcut and CorelDRAW plugin or driver. For users who already design in CorelDRAW, this is convenient because they do not need to completely change their design process.

Accessories and spare parts

The machine usually comes with cables, cutting blades, a blade holder, a pen holder, a user manual and a stand. SignMaster software can also be supplied as an optional choice.

The main spare parts are cutting blades and cutting strips. Blades will wear after long-term use. When the blade is no longer sharp, the vinyl may tear, and the cutting edge may become rough.

The cutting strip may also need replacement after a long time of use. For shops that use the machine every day, keeping extra blades in stock is a good idea.

Which model should you choose?

The LB720 is a good choice for regular sticker, label, window decal and small sign jobs. If most of your orders are within 600mm cutting width, this model can meet daily production needs.

If you often cut large vehicle graphics or wider vinyl rolls, a wider model such as LB980 or LB1380 may be more suitable. The main difference between these models is the cutting width.

For many small businesses, the LB720 is a practical starting model. It does not take up too much space, the operation is not complicated, and it can cover many common cutting jobs.

Summary

The LB720 cutting plotter is a useful vinyl cutter for small sign shops, sticker makers, label workshops and car decal businesses.

It can cut vinyl stickers, window decals, car stickers, labels, reflective film and heat transfer film. With a 600mm cutting width, adjustable speed and force, English LCD display and multiple file transfer methods, it is suitable for daily cutting work.

For customers who need a simple and practical cutting plotter for regular sticker and sign production, the LB720 is a good model to consider.
