It’s so easy to feed sheet after sheet through the machine and your laminating two sticker sheets back-to-back so it goes twice as fast. I have a step-by-step tutorial for applying self-adhesive laminate sheets in my post, How to Waterproof Your Stickers [Laminate 101]. To do this, go to the 3 lines in the upper right corner of your Cricut screen, then go to Manage Custom Materials. Use a self-adhesive laminating sheet (with UV protection) or a thermal laminator so that you know with certainty that you have absolute coverage over your entire sticker.

Avery Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets is the best product for this because the sheets are thinner and more pliable. There is no prep time for the self-adhesive sheets, you just line everything up, peel back the top like a hinge, and then pull off the backing.We find that waterproof stickers also work wonderfully with keeping bottles of Sauvignon cold in wine coolers, shampoos, lotions, and oils and make a perfect accompanying addition to outdoor products such as plant pots and outdoor furniture and equipment. Now you can create your own custom stickers in the exact size that you want to go on your car windows, your notebooks, or even your laptop! You can sub clear sticker paper, but laminating sheets often are larger so they encase the whole paper giving you a margin for mistakes in your application.

It can come in glossy or matte, and there are several tried-and-true brands like Krylon, Mod Podge, and Minwax. Spray sealer wins this one because you can hardly tell it’s there, although Avery’s Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets are super thin and don’t add much bulk or weight to the sticker.You could also try taking your machine to an area that is lit differently and see if the sensor can read the box better.
