Cricut Explore 5 — Ultimate Plus Bundle

Make your own stickers, cards and printed T-shirts from day one with the Cricut Explore 5 Ultimate Plus Bundle, built around the 12-inch smart cutting machine from Cricut that precisely cuts more than 100 popular materials, including vinyl, iron-on, cardstock and printable materials. The bundle includes an EasyPress Mini LT heat press, a full set of hand tools and materials for up to 270 projects, so you start creating the moment you open the box, with no design experience needed.

Key Features

• Precision cutting of more than 100 popular materials, including vinyl, iron-on, cardstock and printable materials, at 14.1 inches per second with a cut width of up to 12 inches (30.5 cm).
• Writes, draws, foils, scores and cuts intricate designs in one machine with 6 compatible tools (the Foil Transfer Tool is sold separately), and with the Deep Cutting Tool (sold separately) it cuts materials up to 1.5 mm thick such as poster board, heavy cardstock, foam, rubber and magnet sheets.
• Print Then Cut: print your design on your home inkjet printer and the machine cuts it precisely using its Printable Sensor, for full-color stickers and decals.
• Mat-free Smart Materials with cut lengths up to 3.6 m (12 feet) for banners and long designs.
• EasyPress Mini LT heat press with a ceramic-coated plate that spreads dry heat right to the edges, a precision tip and a single heat setting up to 355°F (180°C), plus a pressing mat and Smart Iron-On sheets ready to apply your small heat-transfer designs.
• Materials for up to 270 projects: vinyl and iron-on sheets in multiple colors, cardstock, printable vinyl, transfer tape and insert cards, plus a portable trimmer, tweezers, micro-tip scissors and weeding tools.
• 30% smaller than previous models, with a new snap-in pen holder, Bluetooth connectivity and the free Design Space app on phone, tablet and computer.
• 220V power for the machine: the Explore 5 power adapter runs on 100–240V, so it works on 220V mains directly with just a plug adapter.

Specifications

FAQs

Does the Explore 5 run on 220V?

Yes, directly; the Cricut Explore 5 power adapter runs on 100–240V, so it works on 220V mains with just a plug adapter, and the adapter comes in the box.

Do I need design experience?

No; the free Design Space app runs on phone, tablet and computer and includes more than 3,000 images, 100+ fonts and 1,000+ ready-made projects with no subscription; it needs a Bluetooth-enabled device and a high-speed internet connection.

Do I need a cutting mat for every material?

No; Smart Materials load directly without a mat for cut lengths up to 3.6 m, cardstock and printable vinyl are cut on the two included Light Grip mats, and insert cards on the included 2-Card Mat.

Does it cut thick materials?

Yes; with the Deep Cutting Tool (sold separately) it cuts materials up to 1.5 mm thick such as poster board, heavy cardstock, foam, rubber and magnet sheets, while the included fine-point cutting tool handles vinyl, iron-on and cardstock.

What does the included EasyPress Mini LT do?

It applies small heat-transfer designs up to 4×3.5-inch with a single heat setting up to 355°F (180°C), working with iron-on materials such as the included Smart Iron-On sheets rather than Infusible Ink or sublimation, and since it has no auto-off, simply unplug it when you're done.
