ORACAL® Craft Vinyl films are, unquestionably the leading provider of vinyl films to the American craft market. Anyone familiar with vinyl crafting will have heard of ORACAL® Intermediate Series 651Calendered vinyl as it has become the industry standard for high performance craft vinyl but ORAFOL (the maker of ORACAL® films) also makes a number of other specialty calendered and cast vinyl products for crafters. But, why is 651 so popular?
In short, ORACAL® 651 crafting vinyl gives you six years of outdoor durability with great flexibility, the ability to use in thermal printing and your pick of more than five dozen colors. An ideal choice for moderately complex jobs that don't require the extra conformability provided by ORACAL® 951 cast films. Ideal for short and medium term outdoor applications (for longer term use we recommend Series 951). Indoor exposure is almost unlimited and its 78# release liner provides excellent weeding and release characteristics. A light blue, silicone-coated paper is used on white vinyl to form a stronger contrast to lettering. Oracal 651 is a performance grade vinyl is well-suited for indoor and outdoor applications. It was originally designed for fleet vehicle graphics making it a perfect choice for cars. The solvent based permanent adhesive makes it a great choice for wet area applications such as boats or other outdoor places. Although you can use it on interior walls we generally recommend 631 because Series 651 has a much higher potential to cause damage when removed.
No matter what type of vinyl cutter you own (even if it's a pair of scissors), you can be sure it will cut any of the craft vinyl we sell. Listed below is a brief list of some of the more popular electronic cutting machines you can use with our vinyl:
Craft vinyl is a highly versatile PVC film product that is perfect for crafting, decoration, and scrap booking. This type of vinyl film has a pressure-sensitive, self-adhesive layer on the back that will allow it to adhere to many surfaces from smooth to semi rough. Rvinyl currently carries a wide variety of sign, craft and wrap vinyl but the one which Provo Craft sells as Cricut Vinyl is actually ORACAL® 631. This calendered Cricut vinyl is compatible with any electronic craft cutter, not just the Cricut and is also available in comparable Avery™ Promotional Cal PC500 and 3M™ Scotchcal™ 50 craft vinyl versions.
Looking for a slightly higher grade craft vinyl. Try our so-called outdoor Cricut vinyl which is ORACAL® 651 which gives you longer durability, performance and is better suited for outdoor applications. Other great, higher performance craft and Cricut vinyl films are Avery™ HP750 and 3M™ Scotchcal 7125 series films.
When only the best will do or if you need craft films that are used for marine applications (above the static water line) then you want cast craft vinyl. This cast vinyl is made using a different process from calendered craft vinyl which makes it more resilient, conformable and longer lasting. Naturally, it's a little more expensive too but that's to be expected when you're buying top quality vinyl. The brands and names to know here are ORACAL® 951, Avery Dennison® SC950 and 3M™ 180mC craft vinyl films.
What can you do with ORAFOL's lines of craft vinyls? Honestly, the sky's the limit but, since we're nice, we decided to share with you the top five, easy-to-do vinyl crafting ideas to get you started with your Cricut, Silhouette or any other brand of vinyl cutter.
Whether you make your own designs, discover them on Pinterest, or buy from the Cricut's design stores cup and mug decals are one of the most popular uses of ORACAL® craft vinyls. They are awesome as office decor, party favors, teacher appreciation gifts or just as a way to dress up your boring water cup!
Whether it's on your Ikea shelving unit or plastic file crates, you can quickly and easily create order from chaos with cut vinyl labels.
Artwork for your home can be costly, and if you cruise garage sales and antique shops look enough you realize that none of the so-called wood signs almost never say exactly what you want anyways. Using a cutting machine to cut out your own slogan, saying, inspiring words or graphics is ridiculously simple when you use Series 951 vinyl. Seal the wood to your liking, and then apply the graphic in colors that fit your home perfectly.
Got kids? If so, you can use Series 631 to create cool door decals with their name. Let them choose the font and add any designs or flares you can think of. They'll love it!
Got a home-based business and want to advertise it? Why not create a window decal using Series 651 or ORACAL® 951? Want to show off your hometown pride or let everyone know you've got an honor student? Use this vinyl to create your very own window decals.
Rvinyl has an outstanding selection. The vinyl was as pictured. Ordering was easy & the order arrived quickly. I really appreciated how well they packaged the vinyl. It was secure and they did not tape the vinyl roll. Other places I have ordered from slap larges pieces of sticky tape on the rolls and I often have cut away 4 inches or more off before use. I have recommended Rvinyl 5 times this week in various vinyl/crafting forums.
Ok I'm just a decal freak and my wife's the crafter but I've applied so many decals over the years and hands down this 951 stuff is the best.
Very happy with this product, as it worked excellent for my intended use. I applied some heat with an iron, to get it to meld to the substrate I was applying the product to. Very confident this will hold up outside for years to come now. Will certainly be ordering again.
