Some printers may ask about 651 Vinyl and what it is. It is the 651 Vinyl series from Oracal, an intermediate calendered film that will last up to six years. With a permanent adhesive, one can leverage its durability. It is available in yard increments, with 30 yards being our recommendation.

Design specialists believe that 641 Oracal Vinyl has set the standard for calendered films in printing. These film types are designed for relative short-term usage and affordability. What’s more, the calendered film is scratch-resistant when compared to cast film. They will shrink when exposed to heat, so make sure to proportion your logos and branding accordingly when using this one.

What Is 651 Vinyl?

651 Vinyl is a film with a gloss finish, with a 2.5 mil thickness. Some options may also have a matte finish if you wish. Oracal 651 is compatible with thermal transfer printers if one uses glossy film. This film uses a solvent-based permanent adhesive for business applications. The silicone paper has unique release characteristics that help with weeding for custom designs, and you can get a customized blue paper lining.

Oracal 651 is meant for both indoor and outdoor applications. They can be used for lettering and decoration, as well as for marking. The film has a heavier weight, which makes adjusting them much easier. As an added benefit, none of the materials used in the adhesive vinyl are deemed hazardous. Users can install them safely, without worry about protective equipment.

We recommend using Oracal 651 when you have to apply vinyl to flat surfaces. The film can handle simple curves but not complex contouring on many different types of substrates. If you need to mount long-term window displays, for example, then this film will provide an appropriate application.

The Oracal 651 color palette is extensive, with 59 options in varying tints. There are bright colors, neutral tones in dark and grey, and even standard black and white if that is your preference. Each one displays extensive visibility. From glossy or matte, you can find one that fits your business.
