Cutting machines support a minimum of 50 types of materials. The top model, the Cricut Maker, even cuts through 300 different materials. From regular paper and cardboard to (artificial) leather and balsa wood. You purchase these materials separately. A set often includes several sheets and colors. This way, you can choose exactly what you need at that moment. Each type of material has a different function. Do you want to stick on labels or stickers? Cut your design from a sticker sheet. When you buy the materials, you mainly keep in mind what the end result will look like.
