Overview
A bulk roll of Cricut's budget permanent adhesive vinyl in matte black, 12 inches by 20 feet, for cutting decals and labels on a Cricut machine without the cost of the premium line.
This is Cricut's value tier, not its premium permanent vinyl, and buyers who've used both say it does the core job (cutting cleanly, weeding easily) while trimming a couple of extras: no printed grid on the backing paper, and a backing liner that a few reviewers found lifted slightly and caused wrinkles on application. For anyone just cutting shapes and applying with transfer tape, that tradeoff mostly doesn't register; for anyone who relies on the backing grid to align a design by eye, it will.
- 12 in x 20 ft roll
- Matte black permanent adhesive vinyl
- Dishwasher friendly, removes without residue
- Clear PET backing, no printed grid
Who it's for
Good for crafters cutting decals, labels, or stencils in bulk who don't need the backing grid or premium finish; several reviewers preferred it over full-price Cricut vinyl for exactly that reason. Skip it if outdoor durability over months is the priority, since long-term weathering isn't established by the reviews here.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who've cut both this and Cricut's full-price permanent vinyl consistently call the value line easy to weed with clean results, and several say it applies and holds up as well as the pricier roll for regular indoor projects, with a couple ranking it above it. The recurring complaint is the plain backing: no printed grid for alignment and a clear liner that one buyer said lifted slightly and added wrinkles during application; another simply noted it can be mistaken for iron-on vinyl since both use the same clear backing.
