About this service

Vinyl cutters and plotters follow vector paths with a blade, so the artwork needs to be pure outlines: closed shapes, no overlapping pieces, no strokes that should be shapes, and no details too small to weed. Most artwork isn't set up that way. We rebuild your artwork into a cut-ready file, with overlaps merged, strokes converted to outlines, and tiny details adjusted so they can be cut and weeded.

How we build it

  • Closed paths only, with strokes converted to cuttable outlines
  • Overlapping shapes merged so the blade doesn't cut through twice
  • Tiny details and gaps adjusted to weedable minimum sizes
  • Separate layers for multi-color vinyl, with registration marks
