Will it cut at your size?
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 × 0.79 in (25 × 20 mm) | 0.48 mm | 540 mm | 120 | Too fine for most machines |
| 2 × 1.58 in (51 × 40 mm) | 0.97 mm | 1,081 mm | 30 | Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care |
| 3 × 2.37 in (76 × 60 mm) | 1.4 mm | 1,621 mm | 12 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 4 × 3.16 in (102 × 80 mm) | 1.9 mm | 2,161 mm | 6 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 6 × 4.74 in (152 × 120 mm) | 2.9 mm | 3,242 mm | 2 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 8 × 6.32 in (203 × 161 mm) | 3.9 mm | 4,322 mm | 1 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 12 × 9.48 in (305 × 241 mm) | 5.8 mm | 6,483 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.
