What is Vinyl Lettering?

Vinyl Lettering

Vinyl lettering includes lettering, numbering, and shapes that are individually cut out from a sheet of solid colored, 2-mil vinyl and then pre-spaced and placed onto pre-masked transfer tape (the number of transfer tape sheets used will depend on the size of your vinyl lettering and amount of colors used). This allows the lettering to be easily installed as one piece, creating a clean and professional look. You have the option to choose the standard print surface or have it made to be displayed inside glass.

Our vinyl lettering will stick on almost any flat, nonporous surface. Some surfaces vinyl lettering will work on include glass, windows, walls, storefronts, cars/trucks, and boats. Scale is no problem! We can provide the perfect fit for every display surface, big or small. We can print vinyl lettering as large as 24” x 60” in size.

Vinyl Lettering

Our vinyl lettering has over 30 different colors to choose from, including specialty colors such as frosted, fluorescent, gold, and silver. You are also able to incorporate multiple colors into your lettering design.



Common Uses For Vinyl Lettering

Vinyl lettering is one of the most versatile tools for marketing. Since it’s made of durable, high-quality vinyl, it can be used both indoors and outdoors. It sticks to most surfaces and is weather-resistant. Below are some of the most popular uses for vinyl lettering:

Have Your Design Standard or Reverse Cut

You can choose either Standard or Reverse Cut for your vinyl lettering. Standard Cut makes it so each letter and object in your design will be cut directly out of the vinyl material, leaving no background. With Reverse Cut, each element in your design will be cut away from the background of the vinyl material. With Standard Cut the price of your vinyl lettering is based off of the size of your actual design, whereas with Reverse Cut the price will be based off of the size of the square/rectangle you are having your design cut out of.

How to Install Vinyl Lettering

All of our vinyl lettering comes pre-spaced and pre-masked with transfer tape, making installation a simple, all-at-once process. Follow the step by step instructions below to help you get it installed exactly as you want it. The instructions below are for one-color and simple two-color letters and graphics. For orders with complex two-color designs or three or more colors, due to both production and installation quality purposes, you will install your vinyl lettering layer by layer for the same seamless and professional look.

VinylLetteringStep1

Thoroughly clean and dry the surface where the lettering will be installed.

product-image

After measuring and marking your intended installation location if necessary, apply a horizontal strip of masking or painters tape to the top of the graphic with the top half of the tape on the intended surface, creating a hinge.

Note: Designs with three or more colors will require you to place individually colored layers on your wall. Two vinyl dots (one in the upper left corner and one in the bottom right corner of each layer) will be used to help align individual layers.
VinylLetteringStep3

Hold the bottom edge of the hinged graphic away from the intended surface and remove the back liner (which is different from the transfer tape), revealing the sticky backing of your lettering or graphic. Be careful not to allow the exposed adhesive to touch the surface.

VinylLetteringStep4

Using a squeegee*, apply pressure to the front or pre masked side of your lettering, placing the graphic onto the intended surface. Squeegee from left to right from the top down. If creases or bubbles develop, carefully lift the graphic and re-squeegee it.

*Available for purchase with vinyl lettering.

VinylLetteringStep5

Once in place without creases or bubbles, squeegee the entire lettering or graphic to ensure the adhesive is firmly attached to the surface.

product-image

Gently remove the pre-mask transfer tape, starting at a top corner. If any vinyl begins to come off the wall, use your squeegee to firmly adhere it back to the wall and continue peeling away the premask.

product-image

Laying the liner over the graphic with the shiny side facing you, apply hard pressure with the squeegee, removing any stubborn air bubbles.

As noted above, for vinyl lettering with three or more colors your order will have one layer per color. Repeat steps 2-7 and use the registration marks in the upper left and bottom right corners to ensure proper alignment and installation.

Care

Your vinyl lettering can be washed on a regular basis with a damp non-abrasive rag. This will clear it of dust or grime without damaging the lettering. Do not use strong cleaners or scrub vigorously as both of these actions may damage and/or peel away the lettering from the surface where applied.

Q:
Hello! If I overlap two images to form a single image, will those be printed as a single vinyl piece or as two separate pieces?
Asked a month ago by WILLIAM V.
A:

If you order one item, it will be printed on single banner. You can certainly upload your PDF artwork and set it up in our online design tool.

Q:
If uploading my own artwork for vinyl lettering, where is the option located to choose the color of vinyl? The original artwork is a 70% black color but shows up as 100% black in the design window.
Asked 2 months ago by Dawn G.
A:

Vinyl lettering is not printed but uses colored vinyl, we are unable to guarantee the colors will match a specific color you are looking for. The colors you see on screen (using standard settings) should be fairly close to the product you actually receive. However, we use a standard color set of vinyl and are happy to provide you the names of the colors we have in stock. You may also use the online design tool so you can select the featured and specialty colors available.

Q:
Do you offer vinyl adhesive lettering in a night reflective material? If so what color? Thank you
Asked 2 months ago by Kim
A:

The material we use for vinyl lettering is not reflective. We can take note of your inquiry and maybe we can have reflective material at night in the future. 

Q:
i would like to order some custom lettering but would like it in gold. How do i do that?
Asked 2 months ago by Sharon B.
A:

You have to make your design in gold color to make sure we find a vinyl to cutout in gold color as well.

Q:
Will these stick on a painted (smooth) outside door that is pretty much covered from rain/snow/elements? And, I'm not very talented in the "art" department... will I be able to stick these on myself and make it look good?
Asked 2 months ago by Xav
A:

Generally speaking, the principle of vinyl lettering usage is that it will work on a smooth, non-porous surface. Thus metal, glass, plastic, painted drywall, tile, painted wood, and more are great places to put your lettering. It will not work on porous surfaces, even if such a surface is including in the previous sentence. For example, untreated and rough wood will not work, while painted or treated wood most likely will. Specific places where it will not work include brick, cinderblock, heavily textured surfaces, stucco, unfinished wood, concrete, some types of wallpaper, paneling, etc.
