SVG for Cricut Stickers
Cricut stickers use two methods: vinyl kiss-cut (100% vector) and Print Then Cut (colour printed, contour SVG cut). Each method requires a different SVG structure and Cricut material setting.
About SVG for Cricut stickers
Two methods for Cricut sticker projects:
Method 1: Vinyl sticker (kiss cut) The Cricut cuts an SVG path into adhesive vinyl, cutting only the design layer (not the vinyl backing). This produces a clean, peel-and-stick sticker. For this method, the SVG must define the outer contour of the sticker plus any interior cut-through areas.
Method 2: Print Then Cut Design a full-colour sticker artwork in a graphics editor and export as PNG. Import the PNG into Cricut Design Space, which renders it as a print image and generates a contour SVG cut line automatically. The Cricut prints the image (via a connected home printer) then cuts the outline using its scanner to locate registration marks.
For vinyl kiss-cut stickers: - Use a solid white SVG on printable white vinyl, or a design SVG directly on solid adhesive vinyl. - Keep the SVG cut path clean with a slight offset around the design for easier peeling.
For Print Then Cut stickers: - Maximum size: 9.25 × 6.75 inches per sheet. - Use glossy printable sticker paper for best results. - Set Cricut material to Printable Vinyl or Sticker Paper.
Both methods work on all Cricut Explore and Maker models. Cricut Joy supports small sticker sheets up to 4.5 inches wide.
