Frequently Asked Questions

What are vinyl graphics?    Vinyl graphics are individually-cut letters or logos. These are the types of designs that appear to look like painted graphics at first, but are actually made of vinyl. Vinyl graphics are durable, versatile, and perfectly cut.   You find them on many signs, windows, commercial vehicles, boats, and airplanes.

What can I use vinyl graphics for?

Vinyl graphics are ideal for almost any application, indoors or out, that could use paint.

How do I apply vinyl graphics?   Vinyl graphics are easy to apply, just follow these steps:

 1. Mix a drop of soap into a cup of water, and use a little of this solution to dampen the smooth, clean surface you will be applying the graphics to. This will buy you a little time while you make sure it's straight. Don't use much though!

  2. Peel the wax paper off the back of the sticker when you are ready to apply it. Now lay the sticker on the surface and align it how you want it. When it's positioned exactly how you want it, gently (but firmly) use a credit card or a squeegee to press the excess water out from underneath.

3. Let the graphics stand long enough to adhere a little, then gently peel away the application tape that is still over the sticker. This will leave behind the individually-cut graphics!

Vinyl comes in a wide variety of popular styles and colors. Many unique types of vinyl's are available: Reflective Vinyl, Brushed Chrome, 22K Gold Leafing,  'Etched Glass' vinyl, Ultra Metallic, Holographic, Shade Shifters, Dry Erase, Cling Vinyl and many more.
