As my DH said( when he used my scissors to cut a tarp because they cut fast and smooth), Hon, it's only a pair of scissors, buy new ones when you want to.
The pair of scissors we have that are labeled paper won't cut anything else. The scissors we use for general utility work are those carbon steel Chinese scissors. Those things will make quick work of practiacally any packaging. We even have a pair of those scissors that will cut pennies in half. They aren't much good for anything else but hey, if I need a penny cut in half I have the scissors to do it with. LOL
