Royal Elements Royal Elements Ultra Durable Self-Adhesive Vinyl Laminating Sheets 9" x 12" - 20 Sheets (Clear)

When I first received this product, I was very happy with how easy it was to use. I knew I'd need to adjust my Cricut settings to cut a new material, so I printed and cut a sheet of opossum stickers. The cutting didn't come out perfect, but I was expecting that. I intended to use the first batch for testing, anyway.First, I took two stickers and stuck them to the blue cup seen in the photos. I allowed them to sit for 24 hours after adhearing them, then ran the cup through the dishwasher. This laminate is not waterproof. The ink ran pretty bad. I contacted the company, and they implied that the laminate needs to extend beyond the edge of the sticker, but didn't respond to follow up inquiries.I also put one sticker under a UV lamp. It yellowed like CRAZY. The opposum on the far left is what the sticker should look like. The two elephants are some comparison stickers - they were left under the UV lamp for two days beyond the opposum stickers and came out fine.I wanted to see if the laminate had yellowed, or if there was an issue with the vinyl I printed on, or possibly the inks used. I was able to peel up the laminate with very little effort. I'm not sure that would have been possible if the Cricut hadn't scored it while testing cut settings, but it DID peel up. In the second photo, it's pretty clear that the laminate is what's causing the discoloration.Overall I'm not sure what this product could possibly be useful for. If your item isn't going to be exposed to UV or moisture, why laminate it? I know teachers laminate things so they're resuable, but this product is expensive, so I doubt it'd be useful in an education setting.Very, VERY disappointed in both the product AND the company. I run a small business and I would be mortified if I'd actually mailed any stickers made with this material. Thankfully, Amazon is making the return a breeze!

This is from a sticker business owners POV. This laminate is at most 3 stars, it took me 3 trys to get my shipment, they got lost twice. Which is not their fault of course. But once i finally got it I noticed all these sheets had little hairs or just specs stuck onto them already! So if you go to laminate something you have a hair or something on your sticker! These stickers scratch super easy. Im disappointed after this long wait for it just to be mid at best. Worth a shot i guess. After using the whole thing of laminate, we chose to order it again to give it another shot! ... we receive the “glossy sticker paper” which is not what we ordered. I am in need of laminate and don’t have time to try other laminates, so we quickly did a replace which we were able to keep the sticker paper which I guess I’ll be able to try out now? But I already have my go to sticker paper. Anyway, we got our replace.. and guess what? It’s the glossy sticker paper! Again!! I am completely fed up with this, and will have to quickly find a different laminate to fill my orders. It’s crazy how many problems I’ve had with this company.

The laminate works really well. It added thickness and didn't distort the color of my stickers at all. The durability of my stickers definitely improved after applying the sheets. I put them in the dishwasher and tried using a knife to scratch them, and they came out unscathed.My only gripe is that the adhesive is very thick and gooey, making the application pretty difficult. I recommend using a squeegee to push the laminate over the sticker sheet.

The only way that I could get this to print on my cricut was to cut the laminate to lie within the cutting lines, not over. Then it would cut.

I have started to make my own stickers for my art based business. I crank out a lot of art all the time and it was getting cost prohibitive to order stickers all the time. I have been trying out different types of clear laminate to use. I have used mostly the Oraguard 210 which I like alot but I was looking for something that might be thicker and found this. This stuff is expensive. It averages out to 1.00 a sheet and if you are doing larger stickers, with the Cricut Print then Cut, I can usually only get about 5-7 stickers per sheet. As other have said, you have to cut your laminate small enough so that it is not covering your black registration lines for the Cricut to read.My biggest issue with this product, and why I would never recommend it, is that if you are using it to laminate your stickers, it will cause them to curl like CRAZY. The edges of your sticker will literally start to lift on whatever you stuck it to.I've tried alot of different sticker paper/laminate combinations and I noticed that some of my stickers this was a problem and some it wasn't. I assumed the issue was with the sticker paper itself, because that is the part that is having the direct contact to whatever you are sticking to. So I decided to do some tests with various combinations with the assorted printable vinyl/sticker paper and laminate I had.The issue is 100% this laminate. I had no similar issues with any of the other laminate, only this one. Unfortunately this caused me to have to throw stickers away which is both a waste of time and money. Looks like I will be sticking with my Oraguard
