Print waste finder
Pack rectangles with bleed and rotation restrictions.

Find wasted print space
Pack rectangular cards, labels or patterns. The PDF is a dimensioned template and cut plan; it does not include artwork. Solid lines mark trim edges, dashed lines mark bleed.
Area-first guillotine heuristic. Rotation only where permitted, and bleed is reserved on every side. Changing dimensions or orientation constraints can improve the result; this is not a global optimum. Limits: 30 types, 500 pieces, 100 sheets. Check printer margins, grain direction and blade clearance before cutting.
How it works
- Review your inputs and the supported scope.
- Set constraints, run the operation and inspect the evidence.
- Reopen downloaded output before using it.
Example & practical use
Enter your own files or measurements; review the computed result and its stated limits.
Limits and help
Heuristic placement, not a proven global optimum. Verify print scale and cutter clearance.

Troubleshooting
Check the original file format and selection limit. Renaming an extension does not convert a file. For a very large image, close other heavy tabs and try a smaller copy.
