creative grids cutting mats

Cutting mats commonly come in a range of sizes, including 9×12, 12×12, 12×18, 18×24 and 24×36 inches.

Most cutting mats are made from vinyl or PVC (often sold as recyclable PVC self-healing material). Some specialized adhesive machine mats use rubber for their tacky surface.

Cutting mats are offered in colors such as midnight black, earth green and translucent white (often listed as black or green opaque and white translucent).

These mats typically include printed grid lines and easy-to-read measurement markings to help with accurate alignment and cutting.

Adhesive cutting mats for use with cutting machines are described as specialized mats with a printed grid for precise placement, a tacky surface to hold materials securely during cutting, and enough durability to be reused for multiple projects.

Translucent cutting mats can be placed on top of a lightbox to provide a lit working surface for cutting designs, silhouettes, overlays and layout work.
