Cricut Scoring Wheel: Recommended Materials

Depending on the material you select, Design Space will always recommend Scoring Wheel or Double Scoring Wheel. But in general, here's the difference: Scoring Wheel is used to score thin materials, while Double Scoring Wheel is used to score thicker and/or coated materials.

To achieve a flawless finish using Double Scoring Wheel, you fold into the score lines. This means materials must always be placed on the cutting mat "pretty side" (or printed side) down so that the creases are made on the backside of your material. If you ever need the "pretty" sides to face each other, you'll then, and only then, score on the "pretty" side, and thus place your material face up on the mat. 

We've rigorously tested a wide range of materials to give you a list of recommendations on which tool to use.

*We recommend placing glitter paper and cardstock "pretty side" down on the mat for best results.
