Easy-Peel Printable Vinyl for Stickers, Decals and Labels
Create printed graphics that are easier for your customers to peel, position and apply. ProPeel FlexSplit is a 3.4 mil matte white printable vinyl featuring a scored release liner designed for stickers, decals, labels, window graphics, retail displays and general signage.
The backing contains score lines spaced every 1.25 inches. The finished graphic can be gently bent along a score line to create an accessible starting point for liner removal. This helps eliminate the frustration of picking at a small corner or struggling to separate the vinyl from its backing.
A clear permanent acrylic adhesive provides a durable bond on properly prepared, compatible surfaces. The smooth matte white face supports sharp text, detailed graphics and professional printed color.
Available in 20-inch, 30-inch, 54-inch and 60-inch roll widths for a range of wide-format print-and-cut workflows.
Why Print Shops Choose ProPeel FlexSplit
- Scored every 1.25 inches: Repeating score lines provide multiple potential starting points for removing the liner.
- Easier sticker application: Helps customers avoid picking at corners or bending the printed edge.
- Controlled positioning: One section of liner can be removed first to help position the graphic before completing the application.
- Professional matte finish: Produces a clean, smooth appearance for detailed graphics, text and branding.
- Clear permanent adhesive: Designed for dependable adhesion on clean, compatible surfaces.
- Print-and-cut ready: Suitable for contour cutting, die cutting and compatible flatbed-cutting workflows.
- Indoor and outdoor use: Built for stickers, decals and general graphics used in a range of environments.
- Wide-format compatibility: Compatible with solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV-curable printing systems.
How the FlexSplit Scored Liner Works
- Print: Produce the design using a compatible wide-format printer and ink system.
- Cut: Contour cut, die cut or flatbed cut the graphic based on the finished application.
- Locate: Find the nearest score line on the release liner.
- Crack: Gently bend the graphic along the score line to separate the backing.
- Peel: Remove one or more sections of liner to expose the permanent adhesive.
- Position: Use the partially exposed adhesive to place the graphic accurately.
- Apply: Remove the remaining liner and complete the application on a clean, dry surface.
The repeating score pattern creates several potential liner-removal points across the roll. This can make finished stickers and decals easier to handle than products made with a conventional unscored backing.
Important: Whether an individual sticker contains a score line depends on its finished dimensions, orientation and placement within the printed layout. Review the cut layout when a score line is required on every finished piece.
Ideal Applications

ProPeel FlexSplit is particularly useful when the finished sticker or decal will be handed directly to a customer, employee, installer or event attendee. The scored liner adds an easy-peel feature without requiring a separate peel tab or manually added liner slit.

Recommended Surfaces
ProPeel FlexSplit can be used on many common smooth graphic surfaces, including:
- Painted metal
- Painted aluminum
- Stainless steel
- Acrylic
- Glass
- Other clean, smooth and compatible surfaces
The surface should be clean, dry and free from dust, oil, wax, silicone, cleaning residue and other contamination before installation.
Always test the media on the intended surface before beginning a full production run or installation. Adhesion can vary based on surface coatings, surface energy, texture, age, preparation and environmental conditions.
ProPeel FlexSplit is intended for stickers, decals, labels, window graphics, displays and general signage. Use a purpose-built media for vehicle wraps, fleet graphics, floor graphics, wall graphics, low-energy plastics and other specialized applications.
Printing, Cutting and Application Tips
- Use dry application: Apply the graphic to a clean, dry and properly prepared surface.
- Test printer settings: Confirm temperature, ink limits, curing and media-feed settings before beginning a long run.
- Consider edge holders: Edge holders may help maintain media stability and reduce possible edge lift during printing.
- Begin with a sharp blade: A clean, sharp 60-degree blade is a strong starting point for many detailed cutting workflows.
- Adjust cutting depth carefully: Cut through the vinyl face while preserving enough liner integrity to keep the graphic stable.
- Check score-line placement: Review the nesting and orientation of smaller stickers when every piece needs to contain a liner score.
- Test adhesion first: Apply a sample to the intended substrate before completing a full production run.
- Apply above 40°F: The vinyl and application surface should be within the recommended temperature range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is scored-liner printable vinyl?
Scored-liner printable vinyl contains pre-cut score lines in the release backing. ProPeel FlexSplit uses score lines spaced every 1.25 inches, creating multiple potential locations where the liner can be bent, cracked and peeled.
Is ProPeel FlexSplit the same as split-back sticker vinyl?
Both products are designed to make liner removal easier. FlexSplit uses a repeating 1.25-inch score pattern rather than relying on one fixed split positioned in a single area of the backing.
What is the benefit of 1.25-inch score spacing?
The repeating pattern creates several potential starting points across the liner. It may also allow the user to remove one section first for more controlled positioning.
Will every finished sticker contain a score line?
Not necessarily. Whether a finished sticker contains a score line depends on its size, orientation and position within the printed layout. Review the layout before cutting when a scored section is required on every piece.
Which printers and inks are compatible?
ProPeel FlexSplit is compatible with solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV-curable wide-format printing systems. Test printer profiles, temperatures, ink limits and curing settings before full production.
Can ProPeel FlexSplit be contour cut?
Yes. It is suitable for compatible contour-cutting, die-cutting and flatbed-cutting workflows. Test the blade, pressure, speed and cut depth on your equipment before running the complete job.
Does this product use permanent adhesive?
Yes. This version of ProPeel FlexSplit uses a clear permanent acrylic adhesive. Clean removability is not guaranteed, and adhesive transfer or surface changes may occur during removal.
Can ProPeel FlexSplit be used outdoors?
Yes. The unprinted vinyl is rated for up to five years of outdoor durability under suitable conditions. Actual graphic life will depend on ink, finishing, exposure, surface, orientation and installation conditions.
Can the vinyl be wet applied?
Dry application is recommended. Apply the graphic to a clean, dry and compatible surface for the most predictable adhesive performance.
Is ProPeel FlexSplit designed for vehicle wraps?
No. This product is intended primarily for stickers, decals, labels, window graphics, displays and general signage. Use a purpose-built wrapping film for vehicle-wrap applications.
Which roll width should I order?
Select a width that is compatible with your printer, cutter and typical production size. ProPeel FlexSplit is available in 20-inch, 30-inch, 54-inch and 60-inch widths.
Give Every Sticker a Better Peel
A sticker should be easy to use after it leaves the print shop. ProPeel FlexSplit adds a practical crack-and-peel feature directly to the release liner, helping customers separate and apply finished graphics without searching for the perfect corner.
Select your roll width above and add ProPeel FlexSplit to your next sticker, decal, label, window graphic or retail display production run.
