What are the best practices for cutting printable clear sticker paper?

One of the best practices for cutting printable clear sticker paper is to ensure your cutting blade is sharp. Dull blades can cause tearing or jagged edges, especially on delicate materials. Additionally, if you're using a cutting machine from Cricut or Silhouette, adjust the blade settings according to the thickness of your sticker paper. Test cuts on a small piece of the material to find the optimal settings before cutting your actual designs. Overcutting, where the blade cuts into the mat or surface beneath the sticker paper, can lead to ragged edges. This guide includes all of our recommended cut settings for our sticker paper materials, included clear.
