Decal Color Chart
Most decals can be made in any color you want.

Printed Decal Material

Printed Decal Material

When a decal is printed (not die-cut from a single color vinyl roll) you have a couple of options on what type of vinyl you would like the ink to be printed on.  Below is an explanation of the choices you have.  Note that just because the images below show the material in white, this does not necessarily mean that your decal will have any white on it.  Most decals are cut around the basic shape of the design so we can print over any white areas if needed.

Decal Lamination Options Lamination - This is an optional second layer of clear material that is installed after printing but before die-cutting.  This extra layer helps protect against the elements.  Even though our inks are designed to last about 3 years in outdoor conditions, they can be venerable to harsh chemicals (such as gasoline).  Lamination is also required for something that is constantly touched as the ink will wear off quickly in cases on something like a phone decal.  Lamination protects them against this along with extending the life of the decal by several years (ADDS 2-4 years depending on material).  Available in Glossy, Matte or Metallic finish.  Glossy will add extra shine to the decal like a clear coat does to paint.  Matte will tone down the glossiness to a matte finish.  Metallic adds a metallic look to the decal.  See the Lamination Page for more information. Will add 2.5 mil of extra thickness to the decal.
Standard GLOSSY Vinyl (7 Year Material - Unlaminated ink will last about 3 years) - This is the most popular choice for most customers.  The decal will have a photo glossy finish and is conformable to most simple curves. Matte shown on the right for reference.  Lamination adds about 2-3 years of extra life to the material. Rated for up to 176F/80C temperature use. 4 mil thick unlaminated.

Glossy REMOVABLE Vinyl (4 Year Material - Unlaminated ink will last about 3 years) - This is essentially the same as our Standard Glossy Vinyl above but can be removed easier (though the decal can not be reapplied since it will be destroyed upon removal).  This material is NOT recommended for high traffic decals as vandals can easily remove the decal.  Matte shown on the right for reference.  Lamination adds about 2-3 years of extra life to the material. Rated for up to 176F/74C temperature use.. 3 mil thick unlaminated.
Standard MATTE Vinyl (4 Year Material - Unlaminated ink will last about 3 years))This is used if you want the finish of the print to be "matte" or "chalkboard" like.  This will leave the surface a NON-glossy finish and is conformable to most simple curves.  Has special channels in the adhesive that allows air to more easily escape than regular vinyl.  This makes it easy to work out air bubbles and wrinkles on decals that have large solid sections. Note that black will not be as dark as a glossy black when using this material; so it can appear very dark gray.  Glossy shown on the left for reference.  Lamination adds about 2-3 years of extra life to the material. Rated for up to 176F/80C temperature use. 4 mil thick unlaminated.
Premium WRAP Vinyl (7 Year Material - Unlaminated ink will last about 3 years))- This is a glossy white vinyl with special channels in the adhesive that allows air to more easily escape than regular vinyl (see image).  This makes it easier to work out air bubbles and wrinkles.  It can be stretched quite easily especially with a heat gun.  This is the material the vehicle wraps are typically made from.  Works best on complex curves such as automotive panels with with extreme curves, motorcycle gas tanks, helmets, etc.  There is a 90% premium added to the price of the decal for this vinyl since lamination must be used in conjunction with it.  The glossy finish can be made matte by choosing a matte laminate.  Should not be used on small detailed cut designs since it isn't really necessary and doesn't cut fine detail well due to the air channels in the adhesive. Rated for up to 194F/90C temperature use. 2.75 mil thick unlaminated.

Extreme Adhesive Decals

Extreme Adhesive Vinyl (7 Year Material - Unlaminated ink will last about 3 years) - This vinyl has a Satin Finish (in between Glossy and Matte).  It is designed to stick to low friction surfaces that most vinyl will not adhere to.  This includes rough wood, bricks, concrete, etc.  Also works well on coolers that has slight texture that most decals will not adhere to.  Or ATV/UTV/Snowmobile/Motocross bikes due to it's extreme grip.  Finish can be made glossy or matte by choosing the appropriate lamination when ordering.  There is a 50% premium added to the price of the decal for this vinyl.  Rated for up to 225F/107C temperature use.  3.5 mil thick unlaminated.

Do you need this material?  A quick way to test is with painter's tape.  If you put painter's tape on the surface you plan on installing the decal and it won't stick or comes off easier than it should then this material is recommended.  If the tape sticks fine then you can get by with one of our other materials.



Premium REFLECTIVE Vinyl (7 Year Material - Unlaminated ink will last about 3 years))- This is a glossy vinyl that makes the decal reflect at night when indirect light shines on it.  Whites will not appear pure white as this vinyl has a slight pearl-silver tint to it.  It will make ALL colors appear to be printed with metallic ink.  This vinyl is approximately 3 times thicker (5 mil) than the other vinyl offered so it does NOT conform well to complex curves.  This should be used mainly on flat surfaces or those with very little curvature.  There is a 50% premium added to the price of the decal for this vinyl.  This material has a very strong adhesive to it which makes have similar adhesion properties as our "Extreme Adhesive" material above. Rated for up to 203F/95C temperature use. 5 mil thick unlaminated.

Metallic Silver (8 Year Material - Unlminated ink will last about 3 years) -  This vinyl makes lighter colored ink have a metallic property to them.  Dark inks (like black and dark blue) will block out these properties. Note that when printing on this any white within the design will become metallic silver. 2 mil thick unlaminated (3 mil laminated). Rated for temps up to 230F/110C.

See YouTube video of color chart here.


Standard CLEAR Vinyl (4 Year Material - Unlaminated ink will last about 3 years) - READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CHOOSING THIS OPTION. This vinyl is totally clear.  Note that all ink for printing is designed to be used on a white vinyl.  So choosing this option will make the colors of the decal not appear as shown.  The surface color you are applying the decal to will have a great effect on how colors will look as the ink itself is not totally opaque.  It will make the design appear similar to that of a "ghost flame".  This can caused standard colors to appear washed out unless applying it to a white background (in which a white vinyl should be chosen).  See this page for more information.  This clear vinyl is mainly used in conjunction with solid, dark inks such as black.  Please email with any questions you may have before you choose this option.  This vinyl leaves a glossy finish and conforms well to most simple curves. Rated for up to 176F/80C temperature use. 3 mil thick unlaminated.


Perforated Window Film (1-2 Year Material) - SPECIAL ORDER. Works great for LARGE solid decals that go on a window that you need to see out of.  This decal goes on the OUTSIDE of the glass.  Adhesive side is black for better vision.  Lamination can be added for extra durability of several more years.  Decal design MUST be a solid shape design withOUT any type cut-outs so most of the designs on the site will have to be modified in order to use this material.  So be sure to check your email if you choose this type of material when ordering because a choice may need to be made on how you wan the decal to be designed.  EDGE WILL APPEAR JAGGED since there are holes in the material.

Top Picture - Shows back side (black with adhesive) and front side.

Middle Picture -  Shows how a print looks up close.

Bottom Picture - Shows how a whole back window is covered.

Can be laminated to add 2 years extra of durability.  This also helps keep water out of the holes in the rain which leads to better visibility.

Static Cling (1 Year Limited Durability) - SPECIAL ORDER  Looks like regular gloss vinyl but has no adhesive.  Please note that your design will be modified to work as a static cling vinyl.  The decal will be cut as the basic shape of the decal and will have about a 1/4 inch white border around the edge.  All white areas within the design will remain white and will not be cut out like a traditional die-cut decal (no holes).  Due to the static nature of this material, some dust particles may be sucked into the ink during printing.  This is normally minimal but it does happen so solid colors may not be "perfect".  Sticks well to windows, painted surfaces, fiberglass, or any smooth/clean surface. Critical that the surface is clean before installation.  NO ADHESIVE; relies on static to hold the decal in place.  Install WET for maximum adhesion.  Squeegee out excess water after installing.

Wall Vinyl - SPECIAL ORDER  This material is used for large wall graphics similar to those made by FAThead®.  Material is THICK (6 Mils) and can be removed and reapplied since it has a very low adhesive.  Decal will stick to any smooth clean surface such as painted wall, glass or finished wood surfaces such as doors.  It is NOT recommended for textured surfaces, unpainted drywall, outdoor walls, vehicles or bricks.  If you have recently painted your walls do NOT install the decal for at least 30 days to allow the paint to fully cure to prevent damage.  All decals printed on this material will have a white border around the image that is approximately 0.25 inch wide; this prevents the edge from curling.  ***Note that this style decal will not work on a lot of new paint since paint manufacturers are now adding promoters to the paint to make them less sticky for easier clean up.  To test, stick some normal "painters tape" to the wall.  If it comes off easily you can not use this type of material.  You will need to use a material with a more permanent adhesive.

Domed Decals and Domed Stickers

Glossy 3D Dome -  Only available in packages of 125+. Domed decals are "emblem like" that have a 3D dimension to them.  This also adds extra protection to the decal as it is similar to having extra thick lamination.  Please see our Domed Decal Page for more information and images.

Please note that approximately 20-40 days extra is required for production of domed style decals.

Brushed Aluminum Decals and Stickers

Simulated Metals - look like real metal.  This includes Chrome, Diamond Plate, Gold Mirror, Brushed Aluminum and Holographic.  Note that white is NOT printed so any white within the image is going to be the color of the material.  Since our inks are semi-transparent colors printed on this material will appear as tinted shades of it and bright colors do not appear as bright as when printed on white material. For this reason it is best to use darker color inks with simulated metal.  All material is laminated for extra durability (5.5 mil total thickness).  Rated for up to 165F/74C temperature use.  See our printed color chart for examples.

Material

All art materials are for indoor use only and do NOT have adhesive applied to them. They work great for decorations in your home or office.  By default, the design will look identical to the image unless you specify otherwise in the comments box.  So if the design shows a white background, your print will have a white background.

  • Poster Paper is a satin finish paper similar to most posters you see.  Prints photo quality so looks great hanging on a wall or framed.
  • Glossy Canvas is a rough texture finish that gives an artistic look with a glossy finish.  Can be stretched or framed.  26 inch wide maximum width printing area (by any length).

The image below shows 3 different decal styles.  Use them to help visualize how your decal will look depending on what type of decal you are purchasing.

  1. The first one on the left is your standard die-cut transfer style decal.  The image on the order form shows it in black (upper left hand corner of the image) but yellow was chosen for the color.  As you can see the surface color shows through all the open areas within the design.  See the order form image.
  2. The middle design is similar but is with a Full Color transfer decal.  The design is printed but still has open areas within the eyes and mouth so those are cut out.  You can see what parts will be cut out on a full color decal as there will be a thin gray line any place there is a cut.  See the order form image.
  3. The final one on the right is a full color decal but there are no holes. The white edge wraps around the design giving it a white contour.  Once again, the edge is represented by a thin gray line.  See the order form image.  *Note that we have updated this design on the website where the white part is cut out above the red girl's tail.
  4. If you have any questions please use the "Ask a Question" tab above find out more.
