Machine adhesive craft/cutting mats typically include a reusable adhesive surface to hold materials in place, printed grids and measurement lines for precise placement and alignment, and multiple grip levels (light, standard, strong) to accommodate different material weights.
Self-healing cutting mats commonly include gridded measurement lines and come in several sizes and colors. Color options noted include green, black (opaque), and translucent white. Example sizes listed are 9×12, 12×18, 18×24 and 24×36 inches.
Many craft and self-healing cutting mats feature printed grids and easy-to-see measurement lines to aid precise placement and alignment for cutting tasks.
Cutting mats are made from a range of materials, including plastics and vinyl, self-healing PVC, natural bamboo, polypropylene, silicone, and rubber.
Many cutting mats include textured, grid- or waffle-style bottoms and other nonslip surfaces to help keep the mat stable on a work surface.
