All striping rolls take approximately 10–14 days to arrive, including a 5–7-day processing time. These rolls are custom cut and NON-REFUNDABLE.

3M Scotchcal Series 50 striping in Matte Black is a 3 mil calendered vinyl film for straight stripes, cut lettering, labels and sign accents. Choose a pre-cut roll width to build clean lines without trimming a full-width roll. Its clear pressure-sensitive adhesive supports heat-assisted removal under 3M's application recommendations.

Features and benefits

• Pre-cut widths simplify repeated straight lines and accent stripes.
• Calendered vinyl balances handling and value for flat surfaces and simple curves.
• Compatible with electronic cutting and thermal mass-transfer processes when used with the appropriate equipment.

Applications and compatibility

Use for commercial signs, equipment labels, decorative borders and vehicle accents on suitable flat or gently curved surfaces. Do not use Series 50 on rivets, corrugations, compound curves, backlit signs or surfaces exposed to gasoline spills.

Choose the right roll

Choose the stripe width first, then the length. A 10-yard roll contains 30 feet, a 20-yard roll contains 60 feet and a 50-yard roll contains 150 feet. Only the combinations offered for this color appear in the size menu. Order enough material for the full job, allowing for alignment and trimming.

These unpunched rolls have no edge sprocket holes. For cutter use, check the machine's minimum media width and pinch-roller placement; very narrow stripes may need to be applied directly rather than fed through a cutter. Punched pin-feed material is a separate configuration and is not interchangeable.

Application and care

Clean and dry the compatible substrate, remove wax and contamination, and test adhesion before the full job. Use the appropriate application tape for cut graphics and follow 3M guidance for the chosen installation method. Keep the material and surface within the specified application conditions. After installation, clean gently with mild detergent and water; avoid abrasive cleaning and directing pressure-washer jets at film edges.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a full-width roll?

No. You receive the custom-cut stripe width and length selected in the size menu.

Can I use this with a vinyl cutter?

The film supports electronic cutting, but the roll must be wide enough for your cutter's feed system. Check the machine requirements before choosing a narrow width.

Is this reflective or heat-transfer vinyl?

No. This is pressure-sensitive adhesive graphic vinyl, not reflective safety sheeting or garment HTV.

Can I return a custom-cut roll?

No. Striping rolls are cut to order and are non-refundable. Confirm the color, size and surface compatibility before ordering.

How long does delivery take?

Allow approximately 10–14 days for arrival, including 5–7 days of processing before shipment.
