decal FAQ

Last updated - Invalid Date

A decal is single-colour vinyl, cut to the outline of your design and applied with transfer tape. Here's how it's made and how to apply it.

What is a decal made from?

A decal is cut vinyl — a single colour of vinyl film, cut to the exact outline of your design. There is no printing involved: the colour you see is the vinyl itself, not ink laid on top of it.

How does my image become a cut shape?

Your uploaded image is reduced to a single channel before cutting — either the dark areas or the light areas of your design become the cut shape, depending on the finish you choose. This is why photos and detailed artwork work as well as flat logos: the system finds the shape within the image rather than needing a pre-made silhouette.

How do I apply a decal?

Decals are applied with transfer tape: a low-tack film placed over the cut vinyl that lifts the entire design as one piece and carries it to your surface, keeping every part of the design in registration. Peel back the vinyl's paper backing, position the decal, press it down, then peel away the transfer tape to leave the vinyl in place.

What finishes are decals available in?

Six finishes: matte black, navy, carbon fiber, white, silver, and gold.

What sizes are available for decals?

Decals are available from 10 cm on the shortest side up to 60 cm on the longest side. For anything outside this range, contact us at contact@impry.me and we will advise what is possible.

Is there a minimum order for decals?

No minimum. A single decal is a complete order.
