The Lya Vinyl mat listing, bullet by bullet

Five bullets: eight 12 × 12 in mats and a vinyl scraper for Cricut Explore Air and Maker cutting machines — five standard, one light, one strong, one fabric grip; each grip colour-coded and matched to fabric, medium, light or heavy materials, with standard used most; odourless PVC with protective film; the film kept on in storage, with a set lasting a professional six months; and a lifetime service promise.

Lya Vinyl weights the pack

Five green, three others. The second bullet says standard grip mats are the ones used most, and the pack follows that. Buyers who cut a lot of fabric would run out of pink first.

Lya Vinyl’s six months

The fourth bullet gives a lifetime for the set in a professional’s hands. No workload stands behind the figure.

Availability

At the last look-up, the German, French and Spanish Amazon stores were asking 16 € to 24 €.

The asking price on the Italian Amazon store ran past 1.6× the lowest country’s. A gap that size points to goods shipped in from abroad rather than a local seller, so that offer is left out of the figures above.

The British Amazon catalogue lists the product, yet no seller was offering it.

The American Amazon store returned no entry, so the buy button there opens a search rather than a missing page.

Every figure here is Keepa’s reading on the date this page was last updated. Stock and prices can change at any time.

Prices quoted in this text were read on 15 September 2026. The live price is at the top of the page.
