Como fazer suas próprias linhas de corte

Para criar suas próprias linhas de corte para adesivos, siga estes passos usando o Adobe Illustrator:

• Abra sua Arte: Inicie o Adobe Illustrator e abra seu arquivo de design de adesivo.

• Crie o Caminho da Linha de Corte: Use a Ferramenta Caneta ou a Ferramenta Forma para desenhar o caminho onde você deseja que a linha de corte esteja.

• Inclua 2 mm de sangria e uma margem de 2 mm entre a linha de corte e os elementos importantes do design.

• Crie uma Nova Amostra: Vá para o painel de Amostras, crie uma nova amostra e nomeie-a como "die cut".

• Defina a Cor Spot: Defina o tipo de cor como Cor Spot e escolha 100% magenta para a linha de corte.

• Aplique a Linha de Corte: Aplique esta nova amostra ao caminho da linha de corte que você criou.

• Salve seu Arquivo: Salve seu arquivo como PDF ou AI, garantindo que o caminho da linha de corte esteja visível e corretamente nomeado.
  

Ao criar e aplicar linhas de corte personalizadas, você garante que seus adesivos sejam cortados precisamente de acordo com suas especificações de design.

This comprehensive guide explains how to create correct custom cutlines for sticker production using Adobe Illustrator. It includes the required stroke settings, color specifications, bleed requirements, and spacing rules to ensure accurate cutting.

Cutlines define the exact shape your stickers will be cut into. For consistent cutting results, cutlines must follow specific file requirements. This article describes how to set up cutlines properly in Adobe Illustrator.

Before creating your cutlines, ensure you follow these production standards:

• Bleed: 2 mm (0.075”) outside the cutline

• Margin: 2 mm between the cutline and important artwork elements

• Stroke: 1 pt

• Path: Fully closed vector shape

• Color: Spot color, 100% magenta

• Naming: Swatch must be named “die cut”

These specifications ensure your cutlines are recognized accurately during production.

Launch Adobe Illustrator and open the file containing your sticker design.

Use one of the following tools to create the shape of your sticker:

• Pen Tool (freeform or custom shapes)

• Ellipse/Rectangle/Polygon Tool (standard shapes)

• Direct Selection Tool (adjusting anchor points)

Ensure the cutline follows the final sticker shape and is positioned 0.075”/2 mm outside the artwork’s visible edge.

Extend background colors or artwork elements into the 2 mm bleed zone around the cutline.
Bleed prevents white edges if slight alignment changes occur during cutting.

Keep important text or graphics at least 0.075”/2 mm inside the cutline.
This ensures no essential design elements are cut off.

1. Open the Swatches panel

2. Select New Swatch

3. Name the swatch “die cut”

4. Set Color Type: Spot Color

5. Set the color to 100% magenta

This spot color identifies the path as a cutline for production.

Select your cutline path and apply the “die cut” swatch as the stroke color.
Ensure the cutline path:

• Is fully closed

• Has a 1 pt stroke

• Does not overlap other cutlines

• Sits entirely inside the artboard

Export your file using one of the supported formats:

• PDF

• AI

When saving:

• Make sure cutlines remain visible

• Ensure layers are intact

• Avoid flattening or rasterizing the cutline path

To create custom cutlines, draw a closed vector path around your design, apply a spot color swatch named “die cut” set to 100% magenta, and include both 0.075”/2 mm bleed and a 0.075”/2 mm safe margin. Following these specifications ensures your stickers are cut accurately and consistently.
