Most 'Merry Christmas' cut-outs are printed on heavy cardstock or paper; larger or more durable decorations are sometimes made from wood or metal.
Common pack counts include 20-count and 24-count paper cut-outs. Some kits combine sizes—for example, a garland kit might include 24 small cut-outs plus 20 larger ones.
They’re professionally printed—often double-sided—on heavy or heavy-duty cardstock with a photo-like sheen. Each piece is typically inspected and individually packaged.
Cut-outs work well as banners or garlands (hole-punched and strung), clipped to cords with clothespins, centerpieces, table confetti, cupcake toppers, or small tabletop accents.
Single-sheet cut-outs generally arrive ready to use with no assembly. Garland or clothespin kits usually require simple assembly, such as stringing pieces or attaching clips.
