A cut path is a closed vector path in your design file that tells the cutter where to cut around your sticker. Some stickers have simple shapes for cut paths, like circles, squares and ovals. Die Cut stickers have a cut path that follows the outline of your artwork or logo, and can cut right up to the design edge or leave a small contrasting border around the outside of the design's shape. All stickers must have a cut path included in their design file and can be created in the same image editing software used to design your artwork.
