In the sign industry we commonly call the content of the signal is performed as the substrate. Examples include, wood, vinyl banners, aluminum, coroplast, etc. But what many customers do not understand that they can purchase vinyl lettering or stickers vinyl and applied directly to typical substrates themselves same. Translation? save money by buying blank substrates inexpensively at local hardware stores like Home Depot and Lowes and avoiding the need for companies to sign a free price applying on the subject. If you pay tax by buying locally on the substrate, you can save tax on the vinyl by ordering over the Internet.
What are vinyl letters and / or vinyl decals? These are letters (or pictures) that come prespaced customer specifications as words, phrases or sentences on the tape before. The lettering is self adhesive and removing the backing paper, can be directly applied to almost any substrate, car, boat, truck, windows, snowmobiles, jet skis, vans, storefronts, etc. Make sure the surface is extremely clean and free of dust or lint. When the letters or sticker is aligned, but rub on the masking covering the vinyl and then remove it. The result is perfectly spaced lettering or a decal designed to be sentenced to a professional look. Most companies will sign you can buy several lines of vinyl lettering with the spacing between the lines defined by you. You can usually get a mixture of vinyl letters and images on one decal.
is the tack, you might want to consider that while the sign printed on vinyl made to fit the substrate you prepaid (a little bleeding from the plastic film extra on the side). We must warn you that it is a bit trickier to apply than vinyl lettering, but problems can be overcome with care and suggestions. During the Commission of the vinyl to the substrate, remove the paper backing about two inches at a time, alignment, and then press or roll on the surface. We recommend the application roller (roller applicator). When the first part alignment and proper application, be transferred to two inches from the support and continue on this path the rest of the sign. The trick is to moisten the substrate so that you can move the vinyl if you accidentally align properly during its application. it prevents water permanently following a few seconds.
When made of vinyl, it is inevitable that you have a problem "bubble". Tiny bubbles of trapped air will be under the vinyl. Usually, these can be developed with the roller but in some circumstances, they will stay. A dryer (not too hot) can be used to heat the vinyl so that air could be implemented more easily. In certain circumstances, if the bubble is large, the vinyl can be heated and the bubble is pierced with a pin (careful here? But a small hole is required). Be careful not to heat the vinyl because it can deform it permanently.
Recently, the introduction of new products that can change the vinyl if it is under pressure, but not properly aligned. The adhesive does not seal permanently for a few hours after application. The material is a bit more expensive but worth it if you have experienced. Do not feel bad. I know many companies is a sign that now go to the easy stick vinyl to avoid large overhead costs due to errors of former permanent seal vinyl.
