Cut contour
A cut line is not a trace
Vectorizing a logo gives you every colour as its own shape. A cut contour is one closed path around the outside — what a vinyl cutter's blade follows. They are different jobs, and this tool does the second one.
Offset, and why you want some
A contour sitting exactly on the artwork edge leaves no margin for blade drift, and a sticker cut that way shows a sliver of backing along one side. A small outward offset gives the cut somewhere to be wrong.
Holes and enclosed areas
A letter like an O has an inside edge. Whether the cutter should go round it depends on the job — a sticker usually should not, a stencil must. Pick the hole colours and decide deliberately rather than by default.
Smoothing
Traced paths follow the pixel grid, which puts hundreds of tiny nodes on what should be a smooth curve. Simplification removes them. Too little and the cutter stutters; too much and the corners go round.
This is one tool out of a full print operations platform — job board, digital proofing your customer signs off from their phone, quoting, invoicing and client reporting.
