CraftablesMatte Black Vinyl Roll - Permanent, Adhesive, Glossy & Waterproof | 12" x 25' |for Crafts, Cricut, Silhouette, Expressions, Cameo, Decal, Signs, Stickers

This vinyl is much easier to transfer than the Cricut brand, and a much better value. I had some problems with tiny pieces not cutting all the way through, but that could be my mat or that my blade needs to be sharpened. I would order this brand again.

I use this on top of a wooden desk. We wanted to turn the desk purple without having to paint it. This was surprisingly easy to use. The only downside I can even think of was having to try to unroll and adhere it to the surface at the same time so it's a lot easier if you have two people doing it. I can't comment on how easy it is to remove since we didn't try but it went on smoothly and it was really easy to get the very few bubbles out and all we had to use was our hands to smooth it down. Since then it's gone through the abuse of a teenager's room and it hasn't ripped or peeled or come off the edges or anything. My daughter has even spilled liquid on it and it wipes right up. It's also a very bright and vivid color. I didn't really have high hopes for this and sort of bought it on a whim because I was sick of painting but I'm so glad I went with it because it's surprisingly good.

Great vinyl! It cuts easily and the weeding is smooth and easy.

Best vinyl I’ve ever tried

I haven't been able to find a decent vinyl other than using Cricut or siser but this vinyl is the best I have used overall! Easy to cut, weed, etc. It doesn't tear easily like some vinyls and the backing doesn't get stuck to my board. I will be buying this again!

This is slightly transparent and you can see the surface underneath when using larger pieces.

i use this as laminate for my stickers (applied gently and carefully with a plastic scraper and sealed with cold setting on a laminate machine) and it's thick and works well. has some scratches on it but it doesn't change how well it protects my stickers

This is a good value for vinyl, but the ease of weeding from a cutting mat is ridiculous. I have been cutting with a Cricut machine for 7+ years, and this vinyl is the most difficult I've ever used to remove from the mat.

To be honest, I bought this brand by mistake. I thought I had ordered my "tried and true" name brand, but I guess I wasn't paying attention when doing my ordering online. I tried out this brand and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and the price. I will buy from them again.

This was definitely one of the better permanent transparent vinyls that I have tried. It didn't leave a filmy haze over the item I was covering, which has been a problem with some others. It was easy to apply, although having grid lines on the back would have helped with cutting it down to the sizes I needed. The adhesive is strong, which was really great and just what I needed for my project. I've been having some trouble of late with some permanent vinyls that seem to behave like removable ones by not sticking to the surface I put it on very securely. Since I'm not using them for making cut outs, but to essentially laminate the backs of my paper crafts in large pieces, that has made a lot of them less useful for me. There's been a lot of trial and error! So far Craftables haven't been giving me that trouble, but I will have to try it in more colours before I can say for sure if their vinyls universally adhere better. So far I really like what I'm seeing. It's a shame about the lack of gridlines, but not enough of an issue to lower my rating.

I really liked this vinyl! I tried it in red and found it to be comparable to oracal, just a certain tiny bit thinner (barely noticeable), but really easy to work with! Weeds very well, transfers easily! My only thing I would improve on, is the backing is plain white... no lines to use as guides, but other than that, it’s great! I would repurchase!

*Update 5.29.20: re-ordered and received order as described. Was exactly what I was looking for. Quality seems good and durable and cuts in my Cricut Maker very well. Customer service was excellent. Thank you!Original post: Item received was not as described. Received transfer tape and not clear permanent vinyl. Have reordered-will update review once new order arrives.

Manual cold laminations are how I did stickers for a long time, and I wished that this stuff came cheaper, and thinner. It is a thick and strong clear vinyl, but it takes significant work to get it to be "perfectly clear". Tried hair driers, rollers, etc and it just wouldn't look perfect. Good for some things but hot lamination seems to be the better method for a crisp look. Per "sheet" cost on this is just too high to be practical for turning out high volume
