Common planning presets
Maximum dimensions are not a full rectangle
Cricut lists maximum horizontal and vertical dimensions of 7.44 × 9.94 in for Letter and 7.2 × 10.62 in for A4 on Explore, Maker and Joy Xtra. Sensor marks reserve parts of the corners, so those maxima cannot be treated as a fully usable rectangle. Joy 2 has different limits and is not represented by these presets.
StickerFit uses smaller, conservative rectangles as planning assumptions. They are not official machine limits or a machine-tested guarantee. Check the final artwork and copies in Design Space before printing.

Bleed and gap rules
Bleed adds art around the cut edge. Gap is the space between stickers. Both reduce the number of stickers per sheet, so the calculator applies them before nesting the layout.
When to rotate designs
Rotation helps long labels, sampler packs, and freebie stickers share rows. It is usually safe for non-text art, but keep text-oriented stickers upright if the customer experience depends on reading direction.
How to use the chart
Start with the preset that matches your paper size, then enter the finished sticker dimensions into the calculator. If your design needs full-bleed artwork, add bleed before comparing layout options.
The presets in StickerFit Studio are planning defaults. Always verify final artwork in your cutting software before production.
