About our products
What are wall decals made of?
We make high quality vinyl wall decals made in the USA. Vinyl is a thin, flexible but durable film. The vinyl is covered with a special adhesive that allows the wall sticker to adhere perfectly to a smooth surface.
How are wall decals made?
Decals come in several types printed and die cut.
Die cut decals are made with a plotter or cutter. A pattern or logo is cut into a single sheet of vinyl using a rotary knife that moves in the direction specified by the program and makes a cut in the vinyl sheet. After our workers remove excess vinyl. We then cover the vinyl decal with transfer paper or film. This is necessary so that you can transfer the decal to the desired surface.
Printed colorful stickers. How are they made?
Colorful stickers are made by applying paint to vinyl. This is done using a professional industrial printer. For colored stickers, a special ink is used. This paint is resistant to weather conditions and does not fade in the sun. After printing, the sticker is cut by the plotter along the contour.
How are Die-cut stickers different from Print stickers?
“Die-Cut” differs from “printed” vinyl in that it is only cut in one color, rather than being printed in the full color spectrum like a computer printer. This means that in the images shown on the sticker pages, the black part of the design is what is “cut” out of the vinyl.
But this does not mean that the “Die-Cut” sticker will only be black. We have a wide range of vinyl film colors in our assortment. You can choose any color that we have in stock.
What surfaces can wall stickers be applied to?
Our wall stickers can be applied to almost any clean, smooth and weather resistant surface that is free from dust, grease or other contaminants. Wall stickers can be used on lightly textured surfaces.
On highly textured surfaces, the stickers may not stick. We strongly advise against applying wall stickers to certain surfaces such as brick, plaster, concrete blocks, suede paints and sand paints.
Can stickers be applied to wallpaper?
Our wall decals can be applied to wallpapers if they do not have a pronounced texture.
We warn you that the decal applied to the wallpaper will not be removable. When decals are removed from the wallpaper, the wallpaper is damaged (the paper layer is torn). In this case, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to remove the decal from the wall without leaving marks.
Will your wall decals adhere to all paints?
Our wall decals are easy to apply to the most common types of interior paints such as latex and oil based paints. They will also work with other paints, although some heavily textured or additive paints can make application difficult.
Such paints are artificial, sand, suede and magnetic.
Can I apply a wall decal to a newly painted wall?
Freshly painted walls should be allowed to dry for at least two weeks before decals are applied to the walls.
Will the wall decals damage my wall?
When walls are prepared as recommended and properly maintained after the wall decal has been applied, most people will not experience damage to the walls when the wall decals are removed. Keep in mind that, as with any decorative material, there is a possibility of damage to the wall.
Can stickers be used outdoors?
Yes, our stickers can be used outdoors. The stickers are weather resistant. The material of the sticker is waterproof and is not afraid of rain and washing. Our stickers are installed on cars; motorcycles; boats; exterior windows and doors of houses; exterior decorations of the home, such as crafted boards or metal objects such as mailboxes; and so on.
Can I wash the wall decal once it has been applied?
Yes. We recommend using a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water to clean the wall sticker. Avoid using cleaners containing alcohol, abrasives, citrus additives, or ammonia. When a wall decal is applied to a window or mirror, take extra care to avoid glass cleaners that contain alcohol, ammonia, or citrus additives.
Will my wall decal crack, peel, fade, or warp?
When the wall decal is applied as directed and protected from direct sunlight and inclement weather, you should have no problems with cracking, peeling, fading or warping.
What temperatures is the wall decal able to withstand?
Once installed, our wall sticker can withstand a temperature range of -20°F to +150°F.
How long will the wall decal last after it has been applied to a surface?
Wall decals can last for years depending on the surface and environment. Wall decals applied indoors can last significantly longer than wall decals applied outdoors where they are exposed to the weather.
How do I remove a wall decal?
When removing the sticker from the surface, lightly heat it with a hair dryer at a low temperature.
NOTE. Be careful not to overheat the sticker, this will deform or ruin the sticker on the wall or wall.
Hold the hair dryer about eight inches from the wall sticker, being careful not to overheat the paint. Gently lift the corner of each letter or pattern with your fingernail and slowly pull down.
After removing the wall stickers, is there any residue left on the wall? If yes, how to remove it?
As a rule, our wall stickers do not leave a sticky residue; however, several factors can affect this, including the length of time the wall decal has been used on the surface. If there is some residue left on the wall after removing the decal, try removing it with isopropyl alcohol or other residue removers. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations so as not to damage the wall surface or other surfaces on which the decal has been applied.
What is sun fade and what causes it?
Sun fading, also known as shading or halos, can occur when exposure to sunlight causes the surface to fade or darken. If the decal has been used for a long time, then after removing the decal, dark areas may remain in the form of a sticker pattern. This is due to fading of paints and other materials.
Sun fading can happen to almost any surface, no matter what it’s covered with (paint, varnish, fabric, etc.), but it’s most common with oil-based paint. Sun fading is not related to the material used to make the vinyl.
How long can I keep my wall stickers?
Although wall stickers can be stored for up to six months depending on storage conditions. We strongly recommend that you apply the decals to the surfaces as soon as possible upon receipt for best results. Once applied, wall stickers can last for several years, depending on the environment in which they are applied.
Peculiarities.
What should be considered before installing a sticker on a car?
Before installing the decal on the car, it is necessary to clean the surface from dust, dirt and moisture.
NOTE: Do not place the sticker where the windshield wipers move. This will damage the sticker.
As a rule, rear window defrosters are not interfered with by stickers mounted on the glass.
Can car stickers go through a car wash?
Automatic washing should not ruin the sticker. If the vehicle is being washed with a manual pressure washer, special care should be taken not to direct the washer jet at the sticker at close range or for a long period of time.
