TrueNest - True-Shape Nesting Software Adobe Illustrator (Mac & Window) FREE TRIAL 7 DAYS
Stop arranging by hand. Start nesting by shape.
The Adobe Illustrator panel that auto-nests your cut pieces on vinyl — by their true shape, not a bounding box. Less wasted material, faster jobs, more kits per roll.
See TrueNest in action
The motocross & powersports graphics nesting plugin for Adobe Illustrator. Select your pieces, click Nest, and watch them pack tightly onto the vinyl sheet — by their true shape.
Motocross graphics nesting, done in seconds
TrueNest is a true-shape nesting plugin that automatically arranges your decal & wrap-kit pieces on vinyl inside Adobe Illustrator — reading each part's real cut contour instead of its rectangle, so pieces slot together tightly. Less wasted vinyl, faster jobs, more kits per roll.
Built for makers of motocross (MX), supermoto, enduro, ATV / quad and powersports graphics kits — and any sign shop cutting stickers, decals and vinyl on a plotter.
Fit more kits on every roll
Most tools pack the rectangle around each part. TrueNest follows the real cut contour — so angled, irregular pieces interlock and you waste far less vinyl.
Big gaps between parts — more rolls, higher cost.
Tightly nested — less vinyl wasted, more kits per roll.
Why TrueNest
Everything you need to nest faster and cut cleaner — right inside Illustrator.
True-shape nesting
Packs by the real cut outline, not a bounding box — the difference between a full roll and a wasted one.
Native to Illustrator
A panel, not another app. No exporting — it works on your existing paths and CutContour spot-color layer.
Respects your cut setup
Set bleed per piece and blade/kerf margin; TrueNest keeps a safe gap so cuts never overlap.
Smart rotation
Kit-aware angles, 0/90/180/270, or fine 15° steps for a tighter fit — without distorting your kit.
Move or duplicate
Rearrange on the active artboard, or spill overflow onto new sheets automatically.
Best-fit search
Give it a time budget (30 s to 5 min) to search for a tighter nest, then apply the best result.
Works offline
A short offline grace period means a dropped connection never stops your work.
Read-only & safe
It never ungroups or edits your originals — your artwork stays exactly as you drew it.
Three steps to a cut-ready sheet
