The invention provides a cutting band with good softness and excellent crystal expanding property. The cutting band comprises a substrate layer and an adhesive layer configured at least at a single side of the substrate layer, an adhesive for forming the adhesive layer includes a (meth)acrylic polymer and a plasticizer, and the substrate layer contains a polyvinyl chloride resin and a plasticizer having the same structure with the plasticizer in the adhesive. In one embodiment, the plasticizer contained in the above adhesive is a di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate plasticizer, a diisononyl phthalate plasticizer and/or an adipate polyester plasticizer.
