Our take on the Cricut Die Cutting Strong-Grip Performance Machine Mat

This is a two-pack of reusable 12 x 24 inch cutting mats for the Cricut Venture, Cricut's wide-format commercial cutter. The strong-grip adhesive is formulated to hold heavy materials like chipboard, poster board, leather and specialty cardstock steady at Venture's high cutting and writing speeds. It suits crafters and small shops running thick or large-format jobs on a Venture. Compared with standard Cricut mats, the grip is stronger and the adhesive is water-based for longer life, but it is built for the Venture and not for smaller Cricut machines.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Cricut Venture treat these mats as the reliable option for thick and large materials, and most say the grip holds where standard mats slip. Some find the tack too strong for thin paper and note the adhesive fades after repeated use with fibrous materials.

What people mention
  • Grip strengthPraisedOwners say heavy materials stay put even at Venture's fast cutting speeds.
  • Adhesive lifeMixedMany get dozens of uses, but some report the tack fading sooner with leather and fibrous materials.
  • Material handlingMixedGreat for chipboard and poster board, but the strong hold can tear thin paper on removal.
  • CompatibilityCriticisedBuyers note it fits the Cricut Venture only and will not work in smaller Cricut machines.
  • SizePraisedThe 12 x 24 inch format is what large-format Venture users need for full-sheet projects.

Questions and answers

Does this mat work with Cricut machines other than the Venture?
No. It is sized and formulated for the Cricut Venture, Cricut's 24-inch commercial cutter. Smaller machines like the Explore and Maker use different mats.
What materials can I cut on the strong-grip mat?
Cricut lists specialty cardstock, poster board, chipboard, leather and similar assorted materials. The strong adhesive is aimed at heavier stock that slips on standard mats.
How many mats come in a pack?
Two mats per pack, each 12 x 24 inches and purple.
How long does the adhesive last?
It is a reusable water-based adhesive, so it lasts through many cycles. Life depends on material; fibrous stock like leather and chipboard wears the tack faster than cardstock.
Can I use it for thin paper or vinyl?
It can, but the strong grip may be more than thin paper needs and can make removal tricky. A standard-grip mat is gentler for light materials.
How should I store and clean it?
Keep the clear cover sheet on when not in use to protect the adhesive, and store it flat. Wipe off lint and debris rather than washing it.
Where is the Cricut Die Cutting Strong-Grip Performance Machine Mat cheapest?
At Staples, for $29.09, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Cricut Die Cutting Strong-Grip Performance Machine Mat?
