Affordable Decals for Any Occasion
What exactly is a decal? The terminology often confuses people because decal, sticker, lettering, and vinyl are often used interchangeably. Here is a quick explanation to help you better understand these terms:
- Decal-this verbiage is used to describe a solid piece of vinyl. A decal is generally one piece that can be contour cut or a design printed onto a square or rectangle background. a bumper sticker is a good example of a decal.
- Sticker - Sticker can be used interchangeably with decal but often people think of stickers as the small paper stickers that are used in stationery, on school papers, etc.
- Lettering or Vinyl Lettering - This is generally a group of letters individually cut out yet grouped and masked so that they can be applied all in one piece. Individually cut out store hours applied to a front door is a good example of vinyl lettering
What are decals used for? There are a huge variety of uses for decals. Add a company logo on your vehicle to market your services. Design one of a kind monograms for your Yeti or Bubba cups, personalize your car with custom car stickers, organize your pantry with custom labels, keep track of your electronics with custom decals or skins for your laptop, phone, tablet and more.

Explore Custom Decal Types and Options
As you order your decals, you will see a few finish options as well.
- Exact Cut to Shape-With this option, all outlines will be cut out.
- Standard Decal (w/Background)- with this option, your design will be printed onto a standard rectangle or square background.
- Reverse/Inside Application- with this option, your lettering will be reversed so when applied inside your window, they can be viewed from outside. Keep in mind this generally only works with 1 color decals, as we are not able to print on the sticky side. Also, be sure to check if your windows have any type of tint as this will make your decal less visible and more muted looking.
- Protection Plus (UV)- a layer of cold laminate will be applied over your decal to double the longevity - especially recommended for outdoor, printed full-color decals.
