What are CutFiles?
Cut Files are precision-made vector drawings used to guide cutting machines on exactly where and how to cut.
These files are read by digital plotters, vinyl cutters, laser machines, routers, and embroidery machines to produce accurate shapes.Unlike images or mockups, Cut Files contain exact paths and measurements, ensuring clean and consistent cuts every time.
Why are Cut Files important?
If you sell vinyl skins or stickers for gadgets, Cut Files are essential. They tell your cutting machine the exact shape and size of each device, so the final vinyl skin fits perfectly.
Without proper Cut Files:
- Cuts may be inaccurate
- Sizes may be inconsistent
- Vinyl waste increases
- Final products may not fit the device correctly
How Cut Files are used in production
Cut Files act as a cutting guide for your machine. When loaded into compatible software, the cutter follows the vector paths to create:
- Perfectly shaped vinyl skins
- Accurate cutouts for buttons, cameras, and ports
- Consistent results across multiple units
They are the foundation of reliable, repeatable production.
