Accessories and size advantages

In fact, where the Cricut vinyl earns its place of distinction, apart from what we have already mentioned, is through the sizes available: 13x48 cm, 30x30 cm, 30x120 cm... You have more than 12 different sizes at your disposal! And all of them are suitable for a particular project, of course: yours. The best part is that Cricut isn't afraid to go big, because most of the materials are rolls of huge quantities so you can do big projects without fear of making mistakes or having to go to a professional time and time again. Because the professional will be you.

Indeed, with the Smart Materials line, it will be impossible to make a mistake. Firstly, because you can use vinyl without the need for a cutting mat with your Cricut machine. You'll be able to work a total length of up to 3 metres in one pass. And don't worry about the quality, because with vinyl comes good ideas, and to avoid any worries, the roll holder will come in handy and hold the roll for a constant, even flow!

There are two types of vinyl: heat transfer vinyls and adhesive ones.

Vinyls types

Iron-on vinyls

Iron-on vinyls (also known as heat transfer vinyls, or HTV) are sheets or rolls that adhere to certain fabrics - cotton or synthetic, depending on the project. The name of the product will indicate its compatibility with some or all Cricut plotters. The principle is to apply some heat to the project so that it sticks forever. It's an open door to all your ideas, and certainly the best way to customize a birthday present, baby clothes or to create your own line of clothing. By the way, products labeled StrongBond guarantee you a long product life, as they resist more than 50 washes.

And it's not just about applying a simple coloured silhouette to a surface. Cricut's iron-on vinyls come in up to six different finishes: with pre-printed patterns, a holographic finish (perfect for trainers and caps), with glitter for the most stylish details, with foil for that touch of glamour everyone's been dreaming of, the Everyday range which is suitable for everyday wear, and the Sportflex line, which has the ability to adapt to stretchy sportswear for a long-lasting and impressive result.

Adhesive vinyls

Whether they are permanent or repositionable or removable vinyl, it is important to bear in mind that both are very durable. However, you can peel off removables leaving little or no adhesive residue on the treated surface.

Permanent vinyls, whether for indoor or outdoor use and depending on the size and project itself, will stand up to whatever you come up with.
But there's more to vinyl than just adhesion. The variety continues, and you can decorate with a multitude of colours and finishes as varied as gloss, matte, holographic detail, textures, pre-printed patterns, glitter or different shades of the same colour.
