JIMB408 0 Posted March 6, 2011 I'm just starting out cutting my own vinyl - what type of vinyl is used to make car window decals/stickers? (not printed stickers) I assume it's not the same as you'd use for t-shirts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremySI 18 Posted March 6, 2011 oracal 651 is the standard for quality vinyl. but if you are going with some other brand just get their intermediate calendared vinyl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NiteWalker 10 Posted March 6, 2011 Oracal 651 and FDC 4200 series are both great. I give the edge to Oracal though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted March 6, 2011 I think the word "standard" is in the eyes of the beholder..... For vehicles (body or glass) my "standard" has become Oracal 751 for white, black, red or royal blue(These colours cover about 90%+ of the jobs that come my way)...Cast shrinks less and has better UV protection....For the other colours my "standard" is mostly Oracal 651 because it is not worth bringing in other colours...Except I have a few other random colours of 751 in stock...

mopar691 281 Posted March 7, 2011 I agree with roxann. My Standards are 851 or 951. Oracal 651 goes our for tempory signage, race cars and cut banners. Almost everything else is done in cast here. including anything on glass. I try to keep most colors on hand both cast and calendered. I hate having to order anytihng and telling a customer 3 more days cause I dont have a color in. And i only order 50 yard rolls. If it sits for to long I start burning it up on coro or banners to rotate my stock. Seems to work good for me that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
