What Are Vinyl Decals?
Vinyl decals are cut from solid-colored adhesive vinyl using a plotter machine. Unlike printed stickers, there’s no ink involved. The design is cut out from colored vinyl sheets, leaving a clean, crisp, and bold finish. Once the excess vinyl is removed (a process called "weeding"), the decal is applied with a transfer tape.
