Decals &
Low Tack VinylEverything you need to know

 

Vinyl shapes are a great way of introducing design elements into an interior scheme, without the need for refurbishing an entire area.

  • Decals / Cut vinyl letteringThese are self adhesive and will stick permanently to any surface. They are profile cut to any shape, colour or size (larger sizes are made in sections). They are ideal for embellishing any surface area with a design element or feature, eg wall, column, shelves, corners, flat or curved surfaces.
  • Low Tack VinylsThese are self adhesive, and designed to be temporary (eg 6 months). They can be removed easily without damage to the underlying surface. They are supplied straight cut only, in any colour, and can be stuck to any surface. They are ideal for seasonal window displays or point of sale

How Decals and Low Tack
Vinyl works...

WHAT WE NEED

Simply provide us with dimensions of the graphics or image you require, along with the artwork if available.

ARTWORK

All normal artwork formats are acceptable. Images should be ideally a minimum 300 dpi quarter size for best results. For graphics and lettering, we recommend artwork in Vector format. We automatically interpolate artwork, to achieve optimum quality at no extra charge. The crop line must be specified.

Our graphics team will advise and guide on all aspects of your design. We will help source images and check the suitability of any artwork provided. If you require Tektura to create artwork on your behalf, or to change existing artwork, this will be subject to extra cost.

IMAGE LIBRARIES

If you have not yet sourced artwork, or are just looking for ideas, you may find it useful to search an internet-based image library. Images can be purchased direct from these libraries. We can of course help with sourcing, and will always check suitability of image for you.
