What exactly is vinyl lettering?

Vinyl Lettering is a new easy way to decorate…everywhere! It is very easy to apply and take off and is a beautiful way to decorate any room in your home or office. Once you place your order, the quote will arrive pre-pasted and spaced, ready to apply to any smooth or lightly textured surface. Vinyl Lettering gives the appearance of being hand painted, without the time or mess. Our Lettering and Graphics are made from High Quality Vinyl.

What surfaces can Vinyl Lettering be applied to?

Our letters work well on painted walls, most wallpaper surfaces, wood, mirrors, metal, and most other smooth surfaces. Orange peel surfaces are fine, provided it is not too lumpy. However, heavily textured walls, stucco, brick and some types of wallpaper should be avoided.

Can Vinyl letters be used outside?

Our vinyl can be used outdoors. Some examples of outdoor use include car windows or car doors, outdoor equipment, mailboxes, front doors and windows, along with banners. Our vinyl has a five-six year outdoor life. If applying vinyl to an outdoor surface, be sure that the temperature is at least 12 degrees. If the application surface is too cold, the vinyl will not adhere properly and will peel off. Also, overtime and with heat exposure the decal may lift on the edges – this indicates time to replace.

What is an overlay?

An overlay comes in two parts. The main text/graphic and then the overlay. The overlay is placed over, under, next to, etc to the main text/graphic. Overlays are usually a different color, font, and size.
