Materials and production fit
Match the material group to the process.
The right workflow depends on material behaviour, thickness, finish, registration, tolerance and whether the file is already production-ready.
Film type
Vinyl cutting depends on film, adhesive, backing, thickness, print registration and whether it is kiss-cut or through-cut.
- Film type
- Backing liner
- Adhesive
- Printed face
Process fit
Digital knife cutting supports kiss-cut and through-cut workflows when the operation is specified clearly.
- Digital knife cutting
- Kiss-cut
- Through-cut
- Weed border
Artwork setup

Technical guidance
What matters before production starts.
Pick the closest material first
Start with the specific material page rather than a broad category so the quote path, process and limitations are clearer.
Prepare real cutting files
DXF, DWG and vector PDF files should contain real cut paths at correct scale. Screenshots, scans and photos need drawing work first.
Separate operations
Cut, engrave, drill, crease, score, fold and print-registration information should be separated so production can interpret the job correctly.
Use review for uncertainty
If the material is supplied, finish-critical, printed, layered, flexible, tolerance-sensitive or unclear, send it for review before production.

Common questions
Answers before production starts.
Can vinyl jobs be priced instantly?
Suitable cutting-only jobs can use instant pricing when the file has real vector cut lines and the material, thickness and quantity are clear.
Which process is best for vinyl?
It depends on the exact sheet, thickness and finish. Common options for this group include Digital knife.
What files should I upload?
For cutting, upload DXF, DWG or vector PDF files with real cut paths. A screenshot, photo or JPEG saved as a PDF is not a cutting file.
Material-ready files
Quote vinyl jobs from real cutting files.
Upload DXF, DWG or vector PDF files with actual cut paths, or send complex jobs through reviewed quoting.
