Cutting mat

Cutting mats are essential tools for precision cutting and protect both your work surface and your tools. Whether you are cutting fabric, paper or leather, a quality cutting mat provides the ideal base for all your creative projects.

What is a cutting mat?

A cutting mat is a specially designed surface for use when cutting materials with knives, such as rotary cutters or hobby knives. They are usually made of durable plastic and are available in various sizes and designs.

Benefits of Cutting Mats

  • Protects your work surface: Prevents damage to your table or desk.
  • Extended life of your tools: Due to the resilient properties, your knife will stay sharp for longer.
  • Precise Measurements: Many cutting mats are printed with centimeters, inches, and guide lines for straight cuts.

Which cutting mat is right for your project?

Choosing the right cutting mat depends on the type of work you do. For example, specially designed cutting mats are recommended for rotary cutters, such as those from Olfa or Prym. These prevent deeper cuts and ensure optimum operation of your rotary cutter.

Why a self-healing cutting mat?

Self-healing cutting mats close cuts after use, making them last longer and keeping your surface smooth. This type of cutting mat is ideal for long-term, intensive use.
