PRINT-THEN-CUT FILES

Full colour. Clean border.

The cut line sits outside the artwork, never through it.

A print-then-cut sticker needs two files: a 300 dpi print layer and a cut line that sits outside the artwork. This template generates both, with the white border derived from the silhouette instead of a bounding box.

  • White die-cut border, adjustable width
  • Separate print and cut layers
  • 300 dpi print sheet included

Full colour · 3 mm default border · print + cut layers

Drop a reference image

JPG, PNG, WebP or SVG · up to 10 MB

Logos, silhouettes and flat-colour art trace cleanly. Busy photos come back as hundreds of fragments.

Watch first: a reference image becomes a cut-ready SVG in 20 seconds.

WHAT THE FILE IS FOR

From download to blade.

The SVG that leaves this page is sized and layered for real cutting — vinyl, HTV, stickers, layered cardstock.

ONE STICKER DESIGN

One credit per design

The pack separates the print layer from the cut line, so one file serves the printer and the other serves the blade.

WHAT THE OUTPUT LOOKS LIKE

Coffee cup with steam

A full-colour illustration with an outline that hugs the silhouette — including the steam — instead of a rectangle.

A printed die-cut sticker held in the frame against a plain background

DESIGNING FOR PRINT

Bold shapes survive lamination.

Fine detail disappears under laminate and blade pressure. Ask for bold outlines and flat fills; the template widens gaps between adjacent shapes automatically.

Choose

  • A single strong subject, centred
  • Flat fills and a bold outline
  • Clear separation between nearby shapes

Avoid

  • Hairlines and tiny text
  • Photographic gradients
  • Light colours on a white sticker

The border is generated from the outer silhouette. If two parts of the artwork are very close, the border may merge them.

FROM PROMPT TO STICKER

What happens after you press generate

  1. 01

    Generate

    The illustration is produced as flat vector shapes, not a raster image.

  2. 02

    Outline

    A silhouette is derived and expanded by the border width you choose.

  3. 03

    Separate

    Print layer and cut line are exported as separate files.

  4. 04

    Download

    One credit unlocks both files plus a PDF sheet.

Print at 100% scale. Any "fit to page" setting will break the cut alignment.


BEFORE YOU PAY

Questions before your first cut.

Contact support
Can I print these at home?
Yes — the print layer is a 300 dpi PNG designed for inkjet sticker paper. Matte paper takes ink better; glossy needs more drying time before cutting.
Does the cut line include the white border?
The cut path follows the outer edge of the white border, so the margin stays intact when the sticker is peeled. Border width is set before download.
Will it work on a Silhouette Portrait?
Yes. Print-then-cut on Silhouette uses the registration marks in Silhouette Studio; import the cut SVG there and let the software add its marks.
