Decal

Description

A decal or transfer is a plastic, cloth, paper, or ceramic substrate that has printed on it a pattern or image that can be moved to another surface upon contact, usually with the aid of heat or water.

Different variations of decals include: water slide or water dip; and vinyl peel-and-stick. A water-slide (or water-dip) decal is screen-printed on a layer of water-soluble adhesive on water-resistant paper that must first be dipped in water prior to its application.

Upon contact with water, the glue is loosened and the decal can be removed from its backing; overlong exposure, however, dissolves the glue completely, causing the decal to fail to adhere. A peel-and-stick decal is actually not a decal, as described above, but a vinyl sticker with adhesive backing that can be transferred by peeling off its base. The sign industry calls these peel-and-stick vinyl stickers vinyl-cut-decals. We can produce decals or vinyl stickers to go on just about any surface with any image you can imagine. We can coat these decals with polyurethane on vehicles to ensure their longevity. We frequently place them on cars, buses, motorcycles, boats, helmets, and even walls.
