Installation of Vinyl Lettering

Vinyl graphics and letters consist of three parts: 1. top layer with application tape, which holds the letters in their pre-spaced places, 2. bottom layer for the paper release liner, which is a waxy paper and is the ‘’carrier’’ of the vinyl and 3. the actual vinyl letters or numbers spaced between the outer two layers.

Tools required for applying custom vinyl letters and numbers: a squeegee or a credit card.

How to Apply Vinyl Lettering

Installation is made easy with our pre-spaced letters and numbers. They go on smoothly and leave no residue upon removal.

Step 1: Clean the target area with soapy water and let it dry completely. Wipe the dust off rigid surfaces like walls, wood, etc.

Step 2: If the font is large, use masking tape to hold the vinyl lettering into place, attach it to hold the corners and the middle to create a hinge.

Step 3: Make sure the application area is smooth and even to ensure the image is straight and goes on firmly.

Step 4: Create a hinge in the middle of the letters or apply a tape at the top line of the vinyl and one above the tape.

Step 5: Peel off the first half of the letters and smooth it out with a squeegee. If you’re applying a long print, you cut the letters into groups for easier application.

Step 6: Remove the hinge, take out the backing tape and press the vinyl to the surface evenly and continue until the print is properly applied in place.

Step 7: Run the squeegee over all the letters and remove the application tape by peeling off a small corner piece and sliding it all the way across.
