Frequently Asked Questions
Cutout Designer uses a proportional 5% bleed, so a 1 inch square cutout gets approximately 0.05 inches of bleed on each side. The total cut size comes out to about 1.1 inches. Our tool calculates this automatically and shows you the bleed zone in real time as you position your image.
On a standard 8.5 x 11 inch letter page, you can fit approximately 30 cutouts. On tabloid paper (11 x 17), you can fit around 60. Square cutouts pack more efficiently than circles, so you get more per sheet. Cutout Designer handles the layout automatically.
Yes. The square shape is a natural fit for QR codes. At 1 inch, keep your QR code simple with fewer data points so it stays scannable. Short URLs and basic contact info work well. Always test your QR code at the printed size before committing to a full run.
