Creative technology company, Cricut is expanding its materials range with vinyl that changes colour in hot and cold temperatures, iron-on that transforms under the sun, and labels that dissolve in water without sticky residue. 

The Cricut cold-activated colour-changing permanent vinyl changes colour once in contact with temperatures below 10ºC. The material is compatible with all Cricut smart cutting machines and is ideal for items such as glasses and bowls. It is available in light pink to magenta, light blue to turquoise and turquoise to purple.

The Cricut heat-activated colour-changing permanent vinyl changes colour when in contact with temperatures above 31°C. The material is compatible with all Cricut smart cutting machines and can be used on items such as mugs or bowls. It is available in magenta to light pink, turquoise to light blue and purple to turquoise.

The Cricut UV-activated colour-changing iron-on transforms in sunlight. Ideal for clothing, accessories, and everyday items, it can be used with all Cricut cutting machines but for best results, it is recommended for use with the Circuit EasyPress. Colours available include white to pink, white to violet, white to blue and white to yellow.

The Cricut dissolvable smart label paper is designed to dissolve without the sticky residue, perfect for temporarily labelling leftovers, party cups and more. Simply run water over the label and handwash for 30 seconds or place the item in the dishwasher to completely dissolve the label.

This smart label paper works without a cutting mat. Simply write, cut, and peel. Compatible with all Cricut machines and Cricut markers, both the label and adhesive are water soluble and microwave and freezer safe.

The Cricut Joy smart label writable permanent vinyl is now available in new colours – gold and silver holographic – simply write, cut, peel, and stick. Create label designs in the Cricut Design Space app, load the material without a cutting mat, let the cutting machine draw the design with compatible Cricut Joy pens and markers then cut the label shape.

The new materials are available from Harvey Norman, Spotlight, Officeworks and Big W with RRPs ranging from $14.95 to $24.95. The Cricut Joy smart label writable permanent vinyl can be purchased at Spotlight and Officeworks for RRP $14.95.
