Premium Vinyl - Permanent Instructions

Edited: March 6, 2024

Cricut Premium Vinyl - Permanent is ideal for projects that need to weather the storm, from mailboxes to mugs, to outdoor signage and more. It's a water-resistant and UV-resistant film with an adhesive that can last for up to 3 years. Find cutting and application instructions below.

Cutting Premium Vinyl - Permanent with a Cricut Machine

  1. Place vinyl (liner side down) onto Cricut StandardGrip cutting mat.
  2. Create your project in Design Space and load the mat into the machine.
  3. Press the flashing Go button. Finished!

Preparation with Cricut Transfer Tape

  1. Remove the negative pieces from each of the images using a Weeder tool, leaving the liner intact. This process is known as weeding.
  2. Remove the transfer tape liner.
  3. Gently place the transfer tape (adhesive side down) over the images. To prevent bubbles, start in the center and move out toward the edges. Use a scraper to burnish (rub or polish) the tape onto the vinyl.
  4. Peel away the vinyl liner at a 45-degree angle. If the vinyl does not separate from the liner, simply burnish the transfer tape onto the vinyl and peel away again.

Note: Standard transfer tape is recommended. StrongGrip transfer tape is too strong for this material.

Application

  1. Make sure your project surface is clean and dry. Carefully place the transfer tape with vinyl images onto your surface how you would like them to appear.
  2. Now burnish the transfer tape onto the surface, starting in the center and moving out toward the edges.  Use a craft stick or Cricut Scraper.
  3. Peel the transfer tape away from the vinyl at a 45-degree angle. If the vinyl sticks to the transfer tape, simply burnish the vinyl onto the surface again. Then continue to peel the transfer tape away from the vinyl.

Note: Not easily repositioned due to the stronger adhesive.
