Different Types of Adhesive Vinyl for Decals, Stickers, and Labels
We carry dozens of vinyls for many different purposes…
Dozens of Choices for Adhesive Vinyl
As you can see above, there are dozens of adhesive vinyl choices for decals, stickers, and labels. Whatever you might call them, let Signs for Success be your destination for custom vinyl decals large and small. Below are the different types and uses for vinyl adhesive material. If we don’t have it in stock, we’ll see if we can get it in or something similar that will fit your needs.
Wrap Vinyl – High Performance – Printed
For vehicle wraps and printed lettering, we use high performance Avery wrap vinyl or 3M Control Tac, both with UV laminate for added protection and longevity. Roll sizes vary per product; however, most standard rolls are 54″. Our installers are car wrap certified, and they have the skills and experience to give you a flawless wrap every time!
Cut Vinyl – High Performance or Intermediate – Cut
When we cut vinyl, like the colored rolls above, depending on use and budget, we will use either high performance 5-8 year life or intermediate 3-5 year life vinyls. These are solid, single colors that are cut out, weeded and transfer taped. You can pick them up ready to apply to your surface, or have it professionally installed at Signs for Success or on site.
Intermediate Rolled vinyl – Printed
There are quite a few choices when you only need a sticker to last a short time up to about 3 years, or if they are giveaway promotional pieces. We can print and cut squares or more complex shapes on most vinyls.
Translucent Rolled vinyl – Cut Solids or Printed
Translucent vinyls are 7-10 year vinyls that allow light to pass through for backlit signs. When we print translucent vinyl, depending on the use, we may print our “Triple Strike” method where there are two layers of color ink separated by a layer of white ink. Solid, cut translucent vinyls can also be used where one or two solid colors make up the logo or message. Those on a budget can use intermediate cut vinyl, since it allows light to come through to a lesser amount than the real translucent vinyl.
Reflective vinyl – Cut or Printed
Were you wondering what the bright white rolls in the photo were? These are our reflective vinyls, and once they’re printed with your custom graphics, the vinyl really looks fabulous when the surrounding light hits it. We have outfitted many emergency vehicles with printed full color reflective graphics or cut (single color) reflective vinyl.
Temporary Adhesive – Printed
For temporary advertising on walls, ceilings, floors, pavement, sidewalks, fight mats, and lots more, we have a few options with temporary or low tac adhesive. Clear or White temporary vinyl can be used on mall windows, walls, and floors; and can be removed with no damage or leftover adhesive. PT Changeable fabric decals can be put on anything, then moved and reused, since they don’t stretch out like most decals. Temporary Adhesive decals are considered intermediate quality, but they print beautifully!
High Tac Adhesive – Printed
We have a roll of vinyl that has a very grippy, strong adhesive for those tougher surfaces. If you are not sure if a vinyl will stick to your surface, swing in for a sample strip of a couple of types of vinyl to test on your product prior to production.
Static Cling – Printed
We carry both clear and white static cling. We can print white ink for the writing surface for automotive oil change static clings, or use white ink as an overflood to make eye popping color through the clear static, with cling on the face. Otherwise, if static is on the back, we print on the white static roll.
Conformable – Printed
Signs for Success has a printable, conformable vinyl for rough outdoor surfaces. This laminated vinyl is rated good outdoors for one year, but we have seen it last many years. It’s perfect for historical buildings that don’t want penetrations in their brick or exterior walls. With heat, the vinyl comes off cleanly, making changing out the graphics a breeze down the road. We use this on brick, stucco, cinderblock, rock walls, pavement, asphalt, blacktop, sidewalks, and concrete.
Roll Labels – Printed
Roll labels come in a few choices of stock colors and are usually single color imprinted. They are typically a paper label, similar to a mailing label, but a little higher quality. They can be white, yellow, flourescent, gold or silver backgrounds to start and choices of imprint colors. Call for a quote on your size and shape decal sticker labels.
