SVG sizes and file limits

Look up the measurements and file constraints that affect your project.

Cricut and Silhouette mat sizes

A mat’s outside or named size is not always its usable cutting area.

Card and envelope sizes: calculate a matching template

Use the finished card size to draw a folded blank, then allow clearance when choosing an envelope.

Cardstock weight: GSM and pound labels

Compare GSM directly. Treat a pound label as incomplete unless you also know the paper category.

Minimum SVG feature size and kerf

Kerf is material removed along a cut. A minimum workable feature also depends on the material and process, so there is no universal safe value here.

SVG file limits by software

Match the file limit to the software, platform and format you are using.

Cup wrap sizes: measure the part you will cover

Measure the top diameter, bottom diameter and vertical height of the wrap area. An ounce capacity alone cannot define the template.

Blade, mat and material: choose the right instructions

Start with the exact machine and material. A file format alone cannot choose a blade, mat, pressure or pass count.
