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 × 0.94 in (25 × 24 mm) | Over 1.5 mm | 140 mm | 100 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 2 × 1.88 in (51 × 48 mm) | Over 3 mm | 279 mm | 25 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 3 × 2.81 in (76 × 71 mm) | Over 4.6 mm | 419 mm | 12 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 4 × 3.75 in (102 × 95 mm) | Over 6.1 mm | 559 mm | 6 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 6 × 5.63 in (152 × 143 mm) | Over 9.1 mm | 838 mm | 2 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 8 × 7.5 in (203 × 191 mm) | Over 12 mm | 1,118 mm | 1 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 12 × 11.26 in (305 × 286 mm) | Over 18 mm | 1,676 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.
