Scaling a design scales its thinnest part too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.

Size, width × height	Narrowest part	Cut length	Fit on a 12 in sheet	Rule of thumb
1 × 0.98 in (25 × 25 mm)	0.53 mm	280 mm	100	Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care
2 × 1.97 in (51 × 50 mm)	1.1 mm	560 mm	25	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
3 × 2.95 in (76 × 75 mm)	1.6 mm	840 mm	9	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
4 × 3.93 in (102 × 100 mm)	2.1 mm	1,120 mm	4	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
6 × 5.9 in (152 × 150 mm)	3.2 mm	1,679 mm	2	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
8 × 7.86 in (203 × 200 mm)	4.3 mm	2,239 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
12 × 11.8 in (305 × 300 mm)	6.4 mm	3,359 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic

The narrowest part is the thinnest neck that holds the design together; sharp tips are not counted. For wood and acrylic, keep it at least as wide as the sheet is thick. How to open the file in Cricut, Silhouette and laser software.
