Better quality than OEM

Slightly grippier than light grip by cricut. I like these a lot especially for the price. Buying more!Con: After cutting, the back of the material feels tacky for at least a few minutes. This is very minor and almost non existent but I notice it because when I straighten pages, there are a couple that stick out and you just have to open up the stack and let it fall down because it’s tacked to the piece in front or behind. Overall a great deal considering what you get. 9/10 Recommend.

Pros
  • I like that they are not as expensive as the name brand. I like the black, and they work just as well.
Cons
  • After two cuts, the mats lost their stickiness. Waste of money, sad.

Doesn’t stick long in my review

I used this product with my Cricut what I loved about it was the price versus the Cricut mats. The difference between this product is the sticky went away very fast after a small order, & I was placing the clear protector back on after each use. Now I still use the item but I have to put tape on the mat, so I should’ve paid the extra buck for better quality.

Pros
  • Not as good as Cricut mats, but gets the job done!
Cons
  • These boards are not very sticky so the vinyl would slip while in the machine and ruin what I was doing

This product, at most is equivalent to the cricut brands light cutting mat. Instantly I noticed that there was almost no adhesion on the mats. In fact right outside the box/bag I noticed no difference between my older used cricut light adhesive mats and these. I would only buy them again if my purpose was for vinyl or thin paper.

Pros
  • For the price they are good however the strong grip mat is the only one with any grip to it
Cons
  • The cutting pads may warp or curl over time, causing inaccuracies in cuts

Save money and order these!

I liked all 3 mats! Very durable and the adhesive was great! Loved that I was able to use them for different projects depending on the material using!

Pros
  • Bought this for a friend and they loved it
Cons
  • The cutting mats may not be durable enough to withstand regular use

Better than Cricut And Cheaper too!

I LOVE THEM! They are perfect! Just as good, if not better, than the Cricut brand… actually they are a little bit better than Cricut, to be completely honest, and a LOT cheaper than the Cricut brand! So why ever buy anything else? I know I won’t be! This is the one brand for me moving forward.

Pros
  • Value for money! Don't waste your money on name brand when you can get 3 for the price of one.
Cons
  • The standard grip may damage certain materials or fabrics

Good for fabric but not strong

These mats are more like the fabric in terms of adhesions. Will still use for fabric but not product I need a strong adhesion for.

Pros
  • These mats are a great price for 3 mats. They stay sticky so very pleased!
Cons
  • The adhesive on the mats may leave a sticky residue on projects

Dont waste your money

I tired 3 different type of Vinyl . All 3 of them the side was coming up and messed up 2 large sheets of vinyl :( The black color may decrease contrast for certain images and templates.

Pros
  • Love these mats so far. Very durable and "sticky". Will order again.
Cons
  • The black color may decrease contrast for certain images and templates

Worth the money best in my review

I used to buy the Cricut mat for my project, and it is 1st time to try a brand new. These mats work perfectly with my air2. These are good except my vinyl keeps sticking.

Pros
  • Standard grip mat is perfect for a wide range of medium weight materials, including patterned paper, vinyl, iron on and cardstock. Printable iron-on, glitter cardstock, pearl Paper, vellum, printer paper, glitter iron-on, handmade papers, washi sheets, craft paper,thin fabrics, embossed cardstock, light cardstock, printable sticker paper, construction paper, window cling, printable fabric ect.
Cons
  • The adhesive may be too strong and damage certain surfaces

You get what you pay for.

You get what you pay for !They all have the same sticky level. Had to use painters tape for my faux leather. Other brands I don’t have to do that. But if you want light to standard grip I guess it’s ok.

Pros
  • The adhesive backing on these cutting mats keeps the material securely in place while you cut it, preventing slips and ensuring high-quality results every time
Cons
  • The adhesive may attract dust and lint, affecting final project appearance

Love how well these work

These are the 3rd different brand I have purchased and by far my favorite. They sti k just as well now and the first time I used them.

Pros
  • Nice mats. I dont notice a difference in the stickiness but great value for the mats.
Cons
  • The black color may make it difficult to see imperfections in designs

The mat does not stay sticky long

So after about a weeks work the mat that’s supposed to hold strong is not working properly. In the corner where it really needs to be sticky it is not sticky anymore. I have lost lots of vinyl trying to continue to use the mat before opening another one but I had to go ahead and use a new one. I really thought it would last longer. Don’t buy this brand!

Pros
  • Love this them
Cons
  • The 3-pack may not be enough for frequent crafters

The most amazing mats

I love the grid lines and the amount of sticky is perfect on each mat. The colors are gorgeous. I can't wait to try them all out. I put the standard grip to use right away and couldn't ask for a better mat.

Pros
  • Love the mats!
Cons
  • The cutting mats may not be thick enough to prevent slips and movements

The lines on this are in NO WAY similar to the Cricut maker's expected lines and it is missing a full inch of length, meaning that even if you aren't too troubled about the lines, if you are using every last inch of cutting space, by the time you get down to inch 22, you've slid completely off the front rollers and now when it tries to slide back forward again, your machine jams. Ruined two rather expensive pieces of fabric before I realized that 'compatible' it is not.If you don't go all the…

Pros
  • These cutting mats are specifically designed to be used with popular cutting machines like Cricut Explore Air2/One, Cricut Maker Smart Cutting Machine Expression, ensuring a seamless performance that's easy to use
Cons
  • The standard grip may cause materials to fray or tear during cutting

Good cutting mat for sturdier materials

Am returning this as at first I didn't know it was adhesive. This is what happened when I put a piece cardstock to cut. The adhesive was so strong it destroyed my paper. This would be better for heavier and thicker materials

Pros
  • Lasts a long time
Cons
  • The cutting mats may not fit perfectly in the designated machine

great buy for much needed mats

Works well with my cricut. The adhesion is pretty good. Even the standard mat holds the vinyl very well. So far so good, I've been using for 3 days now.

Pros
  • They crack but work for a couple weeks
Cons
  • The 3-pack format may not fit in some crafting tools and cases

OK purchase if you are more concerned about cost

I like to test different products at different cost points to see what is the best value. I like the color, because who doesn't like black? I would like it to be a little stickier though. This is the third or fourth brand of mats I have bought (including Cricut) and have found that this is probably the least sticky. I know that depending on what you are making, you might want a mat that's not SUPER sticky, but I expect a new mat to be fairly sticky depending on the one I'm getting. Overall, I…

Pros
  • Keep the clear film cover on the cutting mat when store to keep cutting mat stickiness free from scraps and dust. Use the scraper to scrape away excess pieces and the spatula to carefully remove cut images.
Cons
  • The black color may not match other crafting tools and accessories

dissappointed for my opinion

The price was great and the thickness of the mat was just like a 'Cricket' mat. The disappointing thing was for me, as a teacher, that after a couple hours of cutting the sticky on the mat lessoned and I had to really run hard with a cricket tool to get the paper to stay. Even though I had issues I would by again.

Pros
  • These mats are for my cricut. The mats are durability and are a great value for 3 mats.
Cons
  • The adhesive may wear off quickly with heavy use

Very good mats. for my opinion

I have to say these mats are a step up from a well known name brand that I use. Love hoe sticky they are and the stickyness has lasted. Will be buying again.

Pros
  • Good quality
Cons
  • The cutting mats may not be made from eco-friendly materials

Loses grip after 10 sheets of cardstock

I have only ever used Cricut and Silhouette grip mats in the past, but took a chance on these because I needed them ASAP and the price was great. Plus, as I've only ever cut vinyl in the past, I wanted to try the different grip strengths to make sure I wasn't tearing the cardstock apart when removing it from the grip mat. Well, I didn't have to worry about that. They seem awesome at first, but after only about 10 sheets, each of these grip mats gave up and caused me to have to keep re-cutting…

Pros
  • Easy enough to use. Kinda nice have an alternative instead of the expensive ones.
Cons
  • The black color may make it difficult to distinguish cutting template markings
