Top 5 Cricut Vinyl Options

When you need a digital die-cutting machine that demonstrates versatility, the Cricut is one of the most viable options in the market. Cricut machines can work with wood, leather, vinyl, and plastic to cut the desired shapes. What’s more, they can hold tools and accessories that allow you to add intricate lettering, logos, or designs. Designers like their quality and reliability. Learn about the best Cricut vinyl that we can offer for your machine of choice.

Using Vinyl With A Cricut Machine

Most vinyl will work with a die-cutting machine, especially Cricut, to form shapes. Some types, however, work better than others. You may want to aim for an ideal fit that also matches your established budget and display projects. Adhesive vinyl, as one example, is better for permanent displays because it will leave a residue when removed. Removable options are better for temporary indoor promotions.

Durability is another factor. Consider if you want a vinyl that will last for up to six years or one with a shorter shelf life. That can affect the quality of the material as well as the price in the long term.

You want to aim for vinyl that has a reasonable width that can fit into the machine. Some will not move as much on a Cricut cutting mat, allowing for a more accurate design transfer. Others may be too thick for the machine in question.

Oracal 651

Many crafters and entrepreneurs swear by the Oracal brand. The 651 has a reputation for working well with Cricut machines and customized shapes while providing a permanent adhesive that lasts for a long time. This vinyl also has a low learning curve so a beginner designer or a professional can use it with the same amount of skill.

The 12’’ 651 gloss widths can last for up to six years within outdoor displays. It is waterproof and is resistant to UV damage as well as to bad weather. For those reasons, we recommend using the gloss widths when you have a permanent display in mind.

Siser EasyWeed 12″ Widths

This type of vinyl works very well with the Cricut machine. The Siser Easyweed has a thickness of 3.5 millimeters with a semi-gloss finish. You can even layer colors with this one so as to create a complex design.
