Best Vinyl for Cricuts in 2022

Many Cricut machines allow designers to use vinyl easily and print them. It can work with leather, paper, vinyl, and paper, making for a versatile production. To use the machine, however, designers may wonder what the best vinyl for Cricut Machines is in 2022.

What Vinyl Can You Use In A Cricut Machine?

Designers have various brands to choose from when pairing vinyl with their Cricut. We recommend constantly checking compatibility when looking at a machine to ensure that the vinyl can run with either inkjet or laserjet. Also, order swatches if you need clarification on color choices because the tints can appear differently online instead of in person.

Siser Easyweed HTV

For heat transfer vinyl instead of a permanent adhesive, we recommend Siser Easyweed. It is designed for easy use, with a hot or cold peel for flexibility. Layering is easy, lending to more complex designs.

If you are hesitant about committing to a particular vinyl, the Siser EasyWeed Vinyl Starter Kit can help you with experimentation. You get a semi-gloss finish and several primary colors to apply to different designs. The vinyl is safe for children’s products, making it great if you have a younger target market.

Oracal

Oracal is the top brand to use with a Cricut machine. Each vinyl and film roll is designed for ease of use and longevity, depending on the type of vinyl.

Oracal 651 is the best product line with Cricut, coming with UV protection and menial degradation as an outdoor vinyl. It comes in both glossy and matte films. We list below why either type of film is great for working with your machine.

Oracal 651 Gloss Permanent Adhesive Film

We retail Oracal 651 Gloss in both 12’’ and 16’’ widths. This adhesive is permanent rather than heat-activated. A glossy film will reflect the light. The vinyl will be a good idea when you want to reduce any glare on an outdoor display, for a vehicle, or to reduce air conditioning bills for a storefront.

Oracal 651 Intermediate Calendered Film Color Chart

Our top recommendation is Oracal 651 Intermediate Calendered Film Color Chart. Oracal suggests using it for intricate designs or complex positions.

A thermal print vinyl, the 651 has a six-year durability. Choose from 59 gloss colors and black and white. The intermediate calendered version has a matte surface, allowing designers to play with the light.
