Frequently Asked Questions
Cutout Designer uses a proportional 5% bleed, so the 2.25 inch heart cutout gets approximately 0.1125 inches of bleed around the entire shape. The total cut size comes out to about 2.48 inches at the widest point. 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 10 heart-shaped cutouts. On tabloid paper (11 x 17), you can fit around 20. Hearts are a bit less space-efficient than circles because of the irregular shape, but Cutout Designer optimizes the layout for you.
Heart cutouts are most popular for weddings, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, Valentine's Day, anniversary celebrations, and pet adoption fundraisers. They also sell well at craft fairs because the unique shape draws people in. Any event with a love or community theme is a natural fit.
Heart-shaped cutouts require a press with a heart-shaped die set. These are specialty dies available from press manufacturers. Most standard presses can accept heart dies as an add-on. Cutout Designer generates print files that match the standard 2.25 inch heart die with proper bleed and cut guides.
