What defines a contour-cut?
A simple contour around a circular sticker or do you mean more complex cuts like a text or logo?

A contour cut can be defined as any cut you make to the sticker beyond the basic rectangle.

The contour cut slider defaults at 0% which = no cutting. A percentage level of 1-2% may be a good level for a straight rectangular cut and a range of 5-6% may be a good range for basic contouring such as rounding the corners on a label or sticker.

More complex custs like text or logo will require a greater percentage increase. The bottom line here is an increase in production time. Higher contour cut percentage = more production time.
