expressions vinyl > Where to Buy

Here is a breakdown of the main materials they sell:

1. Adhesive Vinyl

This is a sticker-like vinyl applied to hard surfaces (glass, plastic, wood, cars, etc.). Expressions Vinyl carries both their own in-house brand and the widely used Oracal brand.

• Permanent Vinyl: Used for items that need to withstand the elements and frequent handling, such as tumblers, outdoor signs, and car decals.

  • Key Products: Oracal 651, Series 51 (in-house brand)

• Removable Vinyl: Ideal for indoor home decor and wall graphics, as it can be removed cleanly without leaving a sticky residue.

  • Key Products: Oracal 631, Series 31 (in-house brand)

• Stencil Vinyl: Used as a masking material for painting or etching projects on wood and glass. (e.g., Oramask 813)

• Specialty Adhesive Vinyl: Includes finishes like glitter, holographic, metallic, and even color-changing vinyl that reacts to hot or cold temperatures.

2. HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl)

This vinyl is pressed onto fabrics (T-shirts, tote bags, pillows, etc.) using an iron or a heat press. They carry a large selection of the popular Siser brand.

• Basic HTV: They offer a wide variety of the highly popular and easy-to-use Siser EasyWeed series.

• Specialty HTV: * Glitter HTV for a sparkly finish.

  • StripFlock, which provides a soft, raised, velvet-like texture.

  • Puff HTV, which expands when heated for a 3D effect.

3. Patterned Vinyl

One of Expressions Vinyl's standout features is their extensive collection of vinyl printed with various fun and cute designs (plaid, floral, seasonal and holiday themes, etc.).

• Available in both Adhesive and HTV types, allowing for much more design versatility compared to using solid colors alone.

4. Tools & Accessories

• Transfer Tape: An essential clear or gridded tape needed to lift cut adhesive vinyl designs and transfer them smoothly onto your final project without ruining the layout.

• Blanks & Miscellaneous: They sell blank items ready for customization, such as blank wood signs and acrylic keychains. They are also well-known among crafters for their Mystery Boxes, which contain a random, surprise assortment of vinyl and blanks each month.
