Our own guides

30°, 45° or 60° blades

Most vinyl cuts with a 45° blade. The steeper and shallower angles are for the jobs that go wrong with it.

Contour cutting: manual, semi-automatic and automatic

Normal cutting follows a vector line on plain vinyl. Contour cutting follows the edge of a design that is already printed.

Label cutters and phone film cutters

Two V-Auto machines are built for one job each: cutting labels off sheets, and cutting screen protector film for phones and tablets.

Choosing vinyl cutting software

Most cutters ship with a way to send a cut. Better software saves weeding time with panels, tiling and accurate placement.
