FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What are vinyl graphics?
A: Vinyl graphics are individually-cut letters or logos. These
are the types of designs that appear to look like painted
graphics at first, but are actually made of vinyl. Vinyl graphics
are durable, versatile, and perfectly cut (better than any
painter could ever do!). You find them on many signs, windows,
commercial vehicles, boats, and airplanes.
Q: What can I use vinyl graphics
for?
A: Vinyl graphics are ideal for almost any application, indoors
or out, that could use paint. Check out our products section
to see a few examples of vinyl graphics in action.
Q: Can
you apply the graphics to a sign for me?
A: We can apply your graphics for you if you are local, or
if the sign is reasonably easy to ship. Our banners, small
signs, and magnetic signs come with vinyl graphics already
applied. Contact us if you need anything else and we'll get
it done!
Q: How does a car wrap work?
A: A car wrap is a large vinyl decal. It has many unique advantages
over paint, in that it can be removed and changed out later
without affecting the vehicle's body. Car wraps allow you
to temporarily change the appearance of the vehicle, but allow
you to return it to its original condition. It is important
to note that it is not paint. A vinyl wrap cannot adhere to
porous, textured, or rubbery materials such as window and
body molding; moving parts such as hinges; greasy or dirty
areas, etc. All vinyl manufacturers require a 1/4" separation
from those areas to ensure proper contact with the body of
the vehicle. Additionally, the vinyl panels are flat and can
be molded to conform to gradual slopes and bends, but complex
curves may require patching, overlaying or relief cuts --
all of which should be difficult or impossible to see from
a reasonable distance, (say 10 feet). The notion that a wrap
can provide 100% total coverage of all cracks and crevices
is not accurate. The materials used to create a wrap are outdoor
durable, and carry a lifetime expectancy of 1-3 years. However,
the climate, treatment, and washing of the wrap are factors
beyond the limits of the manufacturer and the installer. Contact
