ecraft 12"X12" Cutting Mat for Cricut Explore One/Air/Air 2/Maker 3 Pieces Strong Adhesive Sticky Purple Quilting Cut Mats Replacement for Crafts?Sewing and All Arts.

These are the exact same layout/margin as my brand name Cricut mats, so there were no issues with things not being cut properly. They are in fact “strong” adhesion. Careful if using paper until you have used the mat a few times as they are very, very sticky (but they are supposed to be). Great for vinyl and intricate card stock cuts. Comes with 3 mats so this is such a good price. Highly recommend.

The quality and excellent grip definitely makes this a winner and a great value price point. Will be ordering again.

Works well

I make my stickers using the Xyron creative station to laminate and add adhesive to the sheets and then run through my cricut. The one big hassle in this process is that the back of the xyron rolls are a very slippery material that refuses to stick to most cutting mats. I'm forced to tape the material down to get it to stay in place and sometimes it comes loose anyway. I ordered these seeing some complain that they were too sticky and had a slight hope they were what I needed and I'm so glad to find that they do indeed grip onto the stubborn material! If you are working with lighter materials they may not be for you but for my uses these will be saving me so much hassle and wasted material.

Really a strong grip! Even had a hard time getting the shield off. 😀
