Product Benefits
PVC Gold Cutting Vinyl provides specific benefits for fabricators and designers seeking a metallic aesthetic.
Precise Contour Cutting
The calendered PVC construction provides dimensional stability that allows for intricate cuts with minimal edge lift or fraying during weeding.
Consistent Metallic Appearance
The gold pigment is uniformly dispersed throughout the film layer, delivering a homogeneous metallic sheen without the graininess of surface-coated films.
Strong Permanent Bond
Acrylic adhesive develops a strong bond to clean surfaces, suitable for both indoor and protected outdoor applications.
Product Features
Defining features of this metallic gold vinyl that contribute to its performance and handling.
- Embedded Metallic Pigment: Color is within the film matrix, protecting it from surface scratches that would reveal a base layer.
- Air-Release Adhesive: Micro-dot adhesive pattern facilitates bubble-free application on smooth surfaces.
- Calendered Construction: Provides a cost-effective balance of performance and consistency for mid-term applications.
- Conformability: Moderate conformability allows application to slightly curved surfaces and simple compound curves.
- Weeding Performance: Engineered for clean weeding of both positive and negative design elements.
- Liner Clarity: Glassine paper liner offers high transparency for accurate positioning and tracing.
- Temperature Resilience: Maintains flexibility and adhesion across a wide temperature range.

Handling & Processing Tips
Cutting Settings
Use a sharp 45-degree blade. Recommended force is 20-25 grams with medium speed for clean cuts through the metallic layer.
Weeding Technique
Weed at room temperature. If weeding fine details is difficult, slightly warming the vinyl with a heat gun can ease the process.
Application Surface
Best results on smooth, non-porous surfaces like acrylic, glass, painted metal, and sealed wood. Ensure surface is free of wax or silicone.
Adhesive Curing
Allow 24-48 hours for the adhesive to reach full bond strength before exposing the application to stress or cleaning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about PVC Gold Color Cutting Vinyl.
No, this is a metallic finish, not a mirror finish. It has a brushed gold appearance with a diffuse reflectivity, not a clear mirror-like reflection.
It can be used for short-term decorative accents on vehicles. For long-term exterior vehicle use, a cast metallic vinyl with higher conformability and UV stability is recommended.
This PVC Gold has a brighter, more reflective gloss finish. Brushed Gold vinyl typically has a directional, satin-like texture with less shine.
The PVC film and adhesive are waterproof. However, the edges of the application must be fully adhered to prevent water ingress which could lead to lifting over time.
Yes, a clear overlaminate (gloss or matte) can be applied for added protection. Ensure the laminate is compatible with calendered vinyl to avoid adhesive bleed-through.
