Peek-Cut

Peek-Cut

v. To peek, or look into the interior of a CARDBOARD CASE while piercing its side with a BOX CUTTER and drawing the blade around the outside of the BOX to trim away its lid and a significant amount of its upper portion, thereby reducing its height. —n. Any cut so made. See also BASE-CUT, BOX CUTTER, H-CUT, LIFT-CUT, SHARK-CUT, STACK-CUT, TAPE-CUT, TOP-CUT, TRAY-CUT, WINDOW-CUT, X-CUT.

NOTE: The purpose behind cutting away the upper part of a partially full CASE is to save space on a SPECIALS RUNNER and/or OVERSTOCK CART. And clearly, the benefit of using a Peek-Cut to do it is that you see what the KNIFE blade is doing in the CASE'S interior, and thus avoid creating inadvertent STORE DAMAGE as you attempt to cut away as much of the unwanted portion of the BOX as possible without nicking or cutting the PRODUCT inside.

Yes, you can get all macho about it, “guess-timate,” and possibly make many successful cuts without looking or peeking inside, but why put contents at risk? Don't. Instead—take a peek. It works much better that way!
