In some other countries, the mobile providers issues SIMs that are
pre-punched to pop out either of the 3 small sim sizes from a full
credit-card sized card where key information like the PUK code and
serial number are printed.

More generally, there is no guarantee that hardware cards not sold
through mobile phone carriers keep the actual chip/electronics within
the nano-sim area near the middle of the contacts, most notably, NFC
compatible cards will often have the NFC antenna outside that area,
and it's a matter of luck if the contact card functionality works
after cutting on any given hardware model.

Enjoy
