Question
Can gator board be cut into custom shapes?
Answer
Absolutely. Gator board can be cut into custom shapes, and the best cutting method depends on the board thickness and how intricate the shape is.
- A utility knife handles straight cuts on thinner boards.
- CNC routers cut precise custom shapes such as standees, silhouettes, and arrows with clean edges.
- Die cutting works well on 3/16 inch gator board.
- Thicker boards need router cutting for the cleanest results.

| Straight cuts, thin board | Utility knife |
| Intricate shapes | CNC router |
| 3/16 inch board | Die cutting |
