These Cricut's new materials can transform colour when exposed to heat, cold, or UV lights

Cricut is a creative technology company that produces intelligent cutting machines (make sure to check our review on the Cricut Maker 3, Cricut Maker, and Cricut Joy) designed to work with a user-friendly app, allowing consumers to create professional-looking customised clothing, decorations, labels and more. The newly introduced materials includes vinyl that magically changes colour in response to hot and cold temperatures, iron-on that transforms when exposed to sunlight, and labels that dissolve in water without leaving a sticky residue.

Cricut Smart Label Paper – Dissolvable

The Cricut Smart Label Paper – Dissolvable is an innovative label-making material that can be used to temporarily label leftovers, party cups, and more. It is designed to dissolve completely without leaving any sticky residue. To remove the label, simply run water over it and handwash for 30 seconds, or place the item in the dishwasher, and watch it disappear.

This label paper doesn’t require a cutting mat so you can simply write, cut, and peel. The label paper is compatible with all Cricut machines and Cricut markers. Additionally, both the label and adhesive are water-soluble and microwave and freezer safe.
