- I recently started making sticker. I originally started out with Cricut Printable Vinyl, but as I was running out, I decided to try out a new type of sticker paper. So, I tried out some Koala Sticker Paper.
I tried printing and cutting with these sticker papers to see which one I liked best.
I reviewed the texture of the sticker paper, the color of the print, and the way it cuts on my Cricut Explore Air 2.
Come see what my findings were!

This was a very informative video, thank you! I'm using the "Create Sticker" feature in the Design Space and many material options go away. I just can't figure out which printable sticker paper in the list (there are 3) is most compatible with the Koala paper. Do you see the same options and have an opinion?
I don’t use the “create sticker” option. I don’t use Cricut Access. I have heard others have issues with only being able to use limited paper types in this feature. I just make my stickers from scratch add an offset, attach and flatten. That way I’m able to use any paper setting I want. Hope that helps
I wonder if you did two passes with the printable vinyl selection for cutting, if that would cut all the way without ripping. thanks for your video. I will try the koala paper when I get to my sticker making
If you send it through to cut a second time, it does cut all the way through, but it has to find the registration marks and starts from the beginning…. I was hoping to do a fast cut, and I don’t always remember to check if it cut through before I pull the mat out of the machine.
I have got into the habit of checking ALL the time if the cut went through the first run. I have had so many disasters realizing it only cut partially with paper crafts. if only it would play nice the first time! lol@@katherinelearnsstuff
Have you tried playing with your printer settings to get a better quality print on the koala paper? That might help. Also, I always test to see if my paper cut al the way through before I unload the sheet, you can hit recut if you did not unload the paper so that you don't waste a whole page.
When I print out my stickers I play with the print settings, but I was just using the exact same settings on both papers to see how they compared.
I normally check my cuts to make sure they go through all the way, but it is nice to know what settings works the first time. I find with print then cut, if you have to recut it (without removing) it starts from the beginning by finding the registration marks, and takes a long time.
Thanks for watching!
The Cricut sticker paper did the same thing to me. It alway had bleeding. Thanks
I used the Cricut paper with my sublimation printer and didn’t have the bleeding (it’s the exact same printer, just different ink). But I’m happy with me less expensive version of sticker paper 😊
Koala paper is better that cricut paper
