CraftablesBlack Vinyl Roll - Permanent, Adhesive, Glossy & Waterproof | 12" x 10' | for Crafts, Cricut, Silhouette, Expressions, Cameo, Decal, Signs, Stickers

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.

*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.

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!

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
