Decals
We produce vinyl decals as well as adhesive paper labels.
or our standard decals, we use a durable 3mil adhesive vinyl in a matte or gloss coating which is finishing with a weather-safe 2mil UV laminate in a matte, gloss or luster finish.
We have crack-n-peel label sheets, as well as custom die labels sheets such as circles, rounded corner rectangles, disc label covers and more.
Vinyl is great for long term applications and is weather proof and water safe. Paper labels are great for temporary applications and are not weather proof or water safe.
Design and Files
For paper printing, we recommend PDF files. For signs, decals, promotional items or t-shirts, we recommend vector files in a PDF, EPS, SVG or AI format.
If you artwork is not sent to us at a correct scale, a color needs to be changed, something is mistyped, something was not sent properly for print or etc., file alterations may be required. You will always be informed that these alterations are needed and informed of their estimated cost before any changes are made. File alterations are prorated based off of time spent making the alteration.
When you scale a vector image file, it isn’t low resolution and there’s no loss of quality. Vector files can be sized to however large or small you need it to be. It’s an excellent tool for print; especially for large scale or textile printing. We highly recommend letting us vector your designs before taking them to print to get stunning quality on your prints.
Raster art (also referred to as bitmaps or raster images) is a file created using colorized pixels. Raster art is often acceptable for small scale printing paper such as standard copies, business cards or more. When you enlarge a raster file with pixel-based art too much, the edges look jagged and the quality so it is not recommended for large prints, or textile and decal printing.
Anytime we are designing or changing type for you, you will always receive a proof. If we are not altering your print file but you still need a proof, you need to request a proof upon placing your order.

A print ready file for paper printing means that your file is fully designed with no alterations needed, your file is set to size and proper bleeds and margins have been built into your file.
If you have concerns about your print’s appearance, request to receive a printed proof before we being production on your order. If you’re a company with set branding guidelines, especially in regards to color, be sure to send us your branding kit so we can ensure we’re meeting the color specifications.
To prevent your prints from having white lines around the border, you must set up your print file with bleeds. Bleeds refers to an extra 1/8” (.125) of image or background color that extends beyond the finished size of your printing piece. The print file is printed on an oversized sheet that is then cut down to size with the appearance that the image is “bleeding” off the edge of the paper.
It is not necessary to include crop marks in your print files. We prefer that you send your print file to scale as a PDF without crop marks or multi-upped on a sheet.
We request that you do not multi-up your own files; just send us your original file set to size. The sheet size that we choose to print your project on varies on multiple factors. If you let us multi-up it for the appropriate sheet size, we can ensure we’re getting you the best quality and price for your order.
