How to apply vinyl decals

To install vinyl lettering, there are two critical factors to be aware of. The first is that the smooth surface the sticker is adhering to is totally clean and dust-free. The second is that the sticker is straight! If you want to ensure a truly professional look, it’s always best to engage experts to install large or complex stickers.

1. Clean the surface with a lint-free cloth and a household cleaner
2. Use a piece of masking tape or transfer tape to create a straight line guide above where you plan to place your sticker
3. Remove the backing paper from the vinyl
4. Carefully place the sticker on the chosen surface
5. Use a squeegee to remove any air bubbles
6. Remove the guideline tape

The durability of vinyl letters

Custom vinyl lettering decals are incredibly durable, lasting many years, depending on the quality of the brand used. Expect the highest quality vinyl stickers to last for as long as 9 years, medium quality stickers to last 5-7 years, and the cheapest vinyl stickers to only last a year or two.

Custom-designed vinyl letter decals

You can use an online design tool to create your custom vinyl lettering. Such tools supply you with design templates that can be customized to suit your brand and needs.
