The simplest way to work out a cutting price is to email us your file with cut run details. But if you need your pricing quick please utilise our Cutting Calc.

Most of this is basic but you do need to understand a couple factors.

We need the "Cutting Path". This is the actual length or perimeter that the blade travels.
Most clients that aren't Rocket Scientists usually prefer to use the Adobe Illustrator Plug-in to work this distance out.

Once loaded you simply select the contour and activate the filter. Then note down the "MM" dimension.

Filter downloads:

Mac Win

Load these filters into:

/Adobe/Illustrator*/plugins/photoshop filters
& restart Illustrator.

We then need a reasonable recommendation on the complexity of the path.
This influences the time that the cutting needs to complete.

Refer to these samples to accustom yourself.
