What are vinyl decals?
Vinyl decals are cut to shape, this eliminates the need for printing inks and background material. Vinyl Decals are also called Computer Cut Decals and Die-Cut Decals.

Vinyl graphics are provided on pre-spaced and pre-masked sheet for a easy, quick and professional application.
How long do they last?
Depending on the vinyl used, they have an outdoor life from 1 year up to 9 years. For standard colors, we use a vinyl that is rated up to 5 years outdoors continuously. (If using indoors or out of the elements, vinyl will last much longer).
Can you make multiple color decals?
Yes, using layered vinyl colors, decals can be made in multiple colors, however, this is considerably more expensive as there are more materials and labor involved. Layers are limited to 2 colors, premasked.
If you feel comfortable applying layered decals, we can provide individual masked layers, which can be applied one at a time.. this is not typically recommended though.

What is a "vinyl t-shirt"?
As opposed to screen printing, where you use a screen and press ink onto the shirt, vinyl shirts are like taking a vinyl decal and melting it onto the shirt with a heat press. Except for this, we use special heat-reactive vinyl (not traditional vinyl). Because it's heat sensitive, it's a good idea to use precautions when caring for vinyl based shirts.
How long do the vinyl t-shirts last?
With proper care this fabric imprinting method will last just as long as screen printing.
What are precautions to take when caring for vinyl shirts?
Item should be washed inside out and set on gentle machine cycle with cold water. Our shirts are not pre-washed, so 100% cotton and 50/50 blend shirts will shrink some when washed. When drying: Tumble dry on low heat. To avoid possible shrinkage lay flat or hang to dry. Since the material is heat reactive, there is the chance of shrinkage and tightening when exposed to heat (like in the dryer). When you wash and dry do not exceed temperatures of 180°F.
