Cut vinyl lettering & decals

Solid-color adhesive vinyl plotter-cut into letters, logos, and shapes. Crisp, with no printing involved.

“Cast for curves, calendered for flat.”

Good to know

Durability comes down to the film grade and the surface. Calendered (651) is fine on flat, short-to-mid-term work. On curves or for the long haul you need cast (751/951), or it lifts and shrinks.

What it is

Adhesive vinyl cut on a plotter into letters, numbers, and shapes (not printed), then weeded and applied with transfer tape. Graded by durability: calendered intermediate (Oracal 651) vs. cast (Oracal 751/951).

Choose it when

You want sharp solid-color text or a logo on glass, a wall, or a vehicle: Oracal 651 (calendered, ~6 yr) for flat short-to-mid term, cast 751/951 (~8–10 yr) for curves and long-term work on vehicles.

Strengths

Crisp, solid color with no print/ink
Inexpensive
Removable; conforms to glass and flat surfaces

Watch-outs

– Solid colors only (no photographic images)
– Cast film needed for curves and long outdoor life

Not the right call for: Full-color photographic graphics (print a film instead) · Compound curves with cheap calendered vinyl

Questions people ask

Oracal 651 or 751?

651 (calendered) for flat, indoor-to-mid-term lettering. 751/951 (cast) for curves, vehicles, and long-term outdoor. Calendered vinyl lifts and shrinks on curves and over years.

Is it printed?

No. It's solid-color vinyl cut on a plotter, then weeded and applied with transfer tape. No photographic images.

Can I apply it myself?

Yes for simple lettering with transfer tape; large or multi-color layouts are easier for a pro.
