Soft PVC material is used for both sides of this cutting mat with Hard PVC in the middle. This cutting mat is designed for model making, with scaleplate and ruling on the surface. The surface material is soft as to protect your cutting blade and prolong it's life while also protecting your desk from the blade you are using. Roughly 8.5x12 inches this is the smallest mat that DSPIAE offers and should be able to cover only what you wish it to.
