Sticker Material for Cricut: Which is Best? Comparing 14 Different Types

[@trevorbromley-palmer]

I don’t have any personal interest in sticker papers, but I was completely engrossed watching your thorough testing. You are the perfect Cricut teacher. Thank you so much Angie.

[@AngieHolden]

Thanks for watching!

[@AngieHolden]

Thanks for watching!

[@amberrodriguez7313]

This is by far the best video for recommending materials for stickers. You had everything I was hoping for and delivered it all so well and efficiently. Thank you!

[@ArinSauls]

Man oh man… I don’t know why this video didn’t pop up when I typed in “comparing sticker paper” before… But I have watched a few of them where they only compared like two or three and this is just freaking phenomenal. There are so many different types on Amazon and even going through the ratings and reviews makes it difficult to figure out what you want exactly and so I definitely appreciate this video…even though it is two years old at this point that I’m watching it.

[@AngieHolden]

Glad you liked it!

[@jennaleahy]

Omgosh!! So much work you are doing for us! I was trying and I get confused...what one was that. Lol. Thank you for all of your time! You are the best!! ❤😂🎉

I have been buying sticker paper from target..so far so good. Tjanks for all the video's you do! Much appreciated

[@VG-cr5nx]

I wish I would have watched this before I purchased the Cricut thick sticker paper! You are so correct it would not feed through my hp printer, too thick. And I love the tape hack to get it to cut! Thank you!!!

[@AngieHolden]

Oh no!

[@01samroberts]

Your my hero!! First time using my cricut to make stickers and the clear sticker paper it wouldn't read. Did the scotch tape and it worked perfectly!

Hi Angie, Thank you for all you do for us. Your videos are always so clear in explanation and your demonstrations are always awesome.

[@catherinedillberg1231]

Thank you. I found this very helpful. I also tested 14. But only Matte and Glossy. (Joyeza, Aiva, Compandsave, NeotoLabels and Online Labels) For the glossy paper and HP envy, I have to place ONE piece of regular printer paper as far back from the tray on the bottom then place my glossy paper on top for it to feed. SETTINGS on printer matter to get the best possible colors.

[@angel37160]

First I want to say I love all of your videos. I am fairly new to the Cricut world and you have made my life so much easier. I mainly use mine to make stickers. Would you consider comparing different printable holographic sticker paper or adhesive vinyl? Maybe include holographic laminates as well? Thank you for all you do for the crafting world.

[@JulieEbersole]

You are a sticker paper saver, thank you for sharing your reviews. 😊

[@Brineytoes]

I’m so glad I found you early on in my cutting adventures! Now I depend on your comparisons above all else, and am so thankful to you for all that you do, Angie! Thank you! Because you asked for reports of other brands, here is one from me. I got lucky my first time out with my new Maker. I bought Buttercrafts White Vinyl Sticker Sheets. The claims that it will be jam-proof and not cause feeding errors, and is waterproof held up for me. True to its claims, it fed smoothly. I tested my stickers immediately after printing, and they were absolutely waterproof. They are much more reasonably priced than many brands, at $13.99 for 20 sheets. It is difficult to tell which side is the sticker vinyl and which is the backing, but I learned that if I stick each side to a good cutting mat, the sticker side has a velvety or suede like feel, but ONLY after that test. I also tested some that I cut too deeply with transfer tape, and that lifted some of the ink. Cut properly, it is easily removed from the backing. I notified the company and got a rapid reply. They are sincerely interested in feedback and said they would include my information about the transfer tape on their instruction sheet. I don’t need anything to use outdoors, so I have not tested for that issue. I will buy this paper again because it performed very well for me. Leap of Faith: I printed this vinyl to put on Cricut coasters, and would do so again!

[@AngieHolden]

Good to know!

[@bug_queen8574]

Wow Angie - thanks for the comparison. I was looking to make a laptop sticker for my husband and wondering what to use. Without fail you have a wonderful comparison video! I have the Cricut printable vinyl and have decided it should be good to use based on your tests.

[@lynnconroy8]

Once again, a most comprehensive comparison! You answered questions I didn’t know I had. Lol. I usually just use the digiorange sticker paper for my planner stickers. But, I’ve been trying to figure out the best for car stickers. I’ll go back and watch that video too. Question: Can you print a sticker using explore, then weeks later go and cut it? Does explore recognize what it’s supposed to cut after changing designs?

[@AngieHolden]

As long as you save the design, it will be fine. But if you alter the design AT ALL, the print will not work.

[@rondasheive4280]

Hi love this video thank you. I am just learning to make stickers so this helps. When using cricut printable sticker paper clear for a kiss cut use material setting printable sticker paper clear? Is this correct? If you add a laminate to it then use for a kiss cut printable sticker paper clear but cut 2 or 3 times? Is this correct ? Thank you.

[@AngieHolden]

Usually that works!

[@deanamarie4403]

best and easiest way to laminate for stickers? thank you for all the fantastic info

[@AngieHolden]

I just use the laminate over them and then cut on my Cricut. I haven't really found an easy or fast way.

[@trinastiles9762]

I've never had a problem with NEATO Waterproof Glossy sticker papers feeding thru any of my three papers. They are completely waterproof. However, I usually only put in one sheet in the printer at a time...they also have frequent sales on their website!

Thanks Angie you always do a great job! I use a laser printer but this will still help me in looking at brands.

Great video I got some Matt vinly sticker paper from joyeza and I love it

[@digitaldarkroom07]

Thank you for this! Do you need the matte tape if you are using a Maker 3? Also, have you ever tried Zicoto brand?

[@AngieHolden]

The matte tape is to reduce the glare from shiny sticker papers. I find my Maker will also mess up on those so yes you may need it.

[@texastexan99]

Hi Angie, you said you personally use Cricut vinyl for your stickers. Do you laminate your stickers? Thx.

[@AngieHolden]

Not for regular stickers. I do use a laminate if they are going outdoors.

Thank you - had no idea there was so much stuff out there - I want to put vinyl on a folding end table that has slats on the top and it will sit under a covered patio that does not get sun or rain but I am in Florida where it gets humid in the summer - what do you suggest I use

[@AngieHolden]

I would use permanent vinyl I think. Sounds like that would do the job.

[@lancovey8055]

[@sagetx]

OOOHHH. PRINT then cut. As a newbie I thought you had to change markers/pens for the printing part. Still learning! 11:27 Any idea if the Explorer 3 fixed the scanning problem on print / cut?

[@AngieHolden]

Explore 3 has an upgraded sensor so it should be better.

[@frgarcia89]

Online Labels. Weatherproof glossy sticker paper. PERIOD

[@AngieHolden]

I have SO MUCH stuff from them but I didn't have any of their weatherproof in full sized sheets for the Cricut. If I do another comparison, I will add it as I love their stuff!

Dumb question, but are you able to put laminate over the clear sticker paper in order to make it weather/water proof?

[@AngieHolden]

I used some laminate in this video.

[@string.cheese]

Miss Angie!! I love you and your videos so much, especially these detailed comparisons. I am so grateful and appreciate all of the work you put in! I have request for you to consider when it comes to future videos like this - will you show the backing of each item you're testing? I have some sticker paper that isn't the best but it also isn't terrible. But the backing paper says "Please print your beautiful Stickers/Labels on the other side..." so I don't want to use it for items I'd like to sell cause, LAME! lolol. I'm new to stickers so this is the only brand I've tried so far (I purchased the paper in glossy and matte). When looking on Amazon for new sticker papers, it just doesn't seem to be a detail people mention in the product description or even the reviews. Either way, thanks for everything you do!!!

[@AngieHolden]

Oh interesting! I had not thought about that!

[@jeanniebee8235]

I just picked up Hobby Lobby's Paper Studio. Have you tried that one? Thanks for all you do.

Do you select plain paper and high quality on the printer setting?

I generally do as that works best for my printer. For the glossy ones, choose a glossy paper setting.

Hi Angie, I have a question. I tried Aiva printable sticker glossy and I had problems with it. After printing they say to wait 5 minutes for the ink to set. I waited and smeared all over the place. It's been 3 days and if I rub my finger on the black line it will smear and I get black ink on my fingers. I have an inkjet. Do you have an idea why the Aiva paper is doing that? Or is it my printer? On matte paper it's fine, just the glossy one. Thank you in advance. And BTW I love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to show us everything you know and learn. 💞

I have a Cricut joy and the Online Labels sticker paper. I was trying to see what settings you used to get the kiss cut. I am having trouble because the paper is so thin.

[@AngieHolden]

I always seal anything on paper before adding resin.

[@sagetx]

Ooh, another question... Any way to kiss cut THEN die cut for handing out 'quality' stickers?

It is tricky. You need to make multiple cuts on the die cut portion to do it all at once. I make an offset and copy it several times then locate those cuts over one another.

What is kisscut is it a setting you select on your cricut machine under materials
