Cutting mat Linex 100412209, A4 (300×210 mm), plastic, 3 mm thickness, green

Linex A4 cutting mat 100412209 is a green plastic cutting surface sized 300 × 210 mm with a thickness of 3 mm. The mat has a sandwich structure with soft outer layers and a harder centre layer that enables safe, accurate cutting on both sides. One face features a millimetre grid to assist precise alignment and measurement when using craft knives, rotary cutters or paper trimmers. The mat is sold individually and provides a self-supporting protective surface that helps preserve worktops and cutting tools during hobby, sewing, scrapbooking and paper craft projects.

Advantages

The dual-sided construction with soft exterior layers protects blades and reduces bounce while the harder middle layer prevents the blade from cutting through to the table. The integrated millimetre grid on one side supports straight cuts and quick measuring without an additional ruler. At 3 mm thickness the mat balances portability and durability, offering a stable cutting surface that is lightweight enough to carry to classes or craft sessions. The green colour improves contrast with paper and fabric for easier cutting control.

Suitable for

• Precision trimming of paper, card and photographs for scrapbooking
• Cutting fabric pieces and patterns in sewing and patchwork
• Use with craft knives and rotary cutters for model making and hobby projects

How to use

Place the cutting mat on a flat, stable surface with the gridded side up if you require alignment guides. Position the material to be cut on the mat and hold it firmly while running a sharp blade or rotary cutter along a straight edge or freehand as required. After use, wipe the mat with a soft, damp cloth to remove debris and store flat to avoid warping. Avoid heavy impacts and excessive heat exposure to maintain the mat's shape and cutting properties.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a sharp blade and replace it when cuts become uneven to reduce wear on the mat. Rotate the mat periodically or flip to the opposite side to extend service life, and use the millimetre grid to speed up measurement and alignment tasks.
