How do I set up contour cut files for signs
For contour cut orders, submit two separate files: your regular artwork file and a cut mask file. The cut mask must be an all-vector PDF file.
Important rules:
- We cannot accept cut files made in raster programs like Photoshop
- Keep your cut line slightly inside the border of the image to avoid visible background edges
- Do not use small or thin cut areas — maintain at least 0.5 inches between cut lines
- Your contour cut line must be a smooth, fully closed path with no disconnected lines
- Only one cut per order is allowed
- Any imperfections in your cut line will show in the final piece
