If a sign shop could stock only one permanent adhesive vinyl, a lot of owners would pick ORACAL 651. It cuts cleanly, weeds easily, sticks hard, and holds up outdoors for years. That combination is why it shows up on everything from storefront lettering and vehicle decals to craft projects cut on a Cricut or Silhouette.

What Is ORACAL 651?

ORACAL 651 is an intermediate calendered PVC plotter film made by ORAFOL. It is 2.5 mil thick (without liner and adhesive) and uses a clear, solvent-based, permanent adhesive rated at 4.1 lb/in on stainless steel (24 hr). It sits between economy short-term films and premium cast films, giving you long outdoor life at a calendered-film price.
