Key Features

Who It's For

The ORACAL 951 Steppe Green Metallic is aimed at hobbyists, crafters and small sign shops who work with plotter cutters and need a high-quality metallic finish for decals, vehicle graphics or long-lasting signage. Users who value material longevity and a professional cast film will appreciate the up to 10 year outdoor durability and the film's compatibility with common cutter brands.

Those who need perfect crease resistance on very thin or highly contoured surfaces, or who require a specific calibrated color match for brand identity, may want to test a sample first or consider alternatives.
