The QWORK mat listing, bullet by bullet

Five bullets: three 30.5 × 61 cm mats in light, standard and strong grip; compatibility with Cricut Maker, Explore Air 2, Air and One cutting machines; standard grip for card, vinyl and medium materials; light grip for paper and light board; and strong grip for thick card and reinforced fabric.

QWORK pairs grips with materials

Paper light, vinyl standard, thick card strong. Three bullets, one per grip. QWORK and Lya Vinyl are the two mat listings here that pair each grip with materials.

QWORK’s long format

At 30.5 × 61 cm, these are twice the length of a 12 × 12 in mat. The listing names older Cricut Maker and Explore models; the newer ones are not mentioned.

Availability

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

It is sold in the British Amazon store as well, in its own currency, which the euro figures above leave out on purpose.

The asking price on the French 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 American Amazon catalogue lists the product, yet no seller was offering it.

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.
