Review on ORACAL 651 Permanent Adhesive Backed Cutters by Dawn Fischer

I purchased this product using Cricut Transfer Tape. 2 stickers to close the roll (see photo!). Along with the two stickers, the exposed vinyl was completely scratched and unusable (see photo. Sorry for the lighting. The big white spots are of course just light reflections. When I took the photo without lighting, the vinyl looked perfect, which is not at all the case as it looks in real life, but you can see some wear around the white spots of light reflection). I opened the roll and of course no stickers were possible. break off (see photo). So I open it as best I can and sure enough the vinyl is torn and curled up a bit (see photo). But what does that do with all those scratches? So vinyl itself is good for vinyl projects. However, the packaging is terrible and you're paying for a lot of vinyl that you don't actually use. This might seem like a small thing to some, but personally it really annoys me. First, does the company take the time to wrap it in plastic? Good. Then they add 2 more stickers? I'm sure the company could come up with a better packaging method. However, be aware that you will lose the first 10 inches of vinyl to decals and scuffs. I hope they update their packaging methods in the future.
