In most cases, the material of choice for custom car window graphics is some kind of vinyl. However, the qualities and character of the vinyl that is used in the project can differ greatly depending on how the graphic is designed and used. There are three main types of vinyl that people use for car window graphics: perforated vinyl, solid vinyl banners or displays, and printed, adhesive vinyl decals.
Different Uses of Vinyl in Car window graphics
Perforated vinyl is becoming very popular with automotive car window graphics. It is often used with vehicle wraps to create a seamless image that covers the entire surface of a vehicle. Perforated vinyl is a vinyl mesh that capitalizes on the human eye's to fill in the gaps--from the outside, the eye fills in the gaps to create an image, but from the inside, the eye creates a representation of the outside.
Solid vinyl banners or displays are often hung in windows to announce promotions of special events. One major advantage of vinyl banners is that they can be reused. They can also be printed relatively cheaply and quickly, and are easy to install and remove (whereas other types of car window graphics may require professional installation).
The third type of vinyl often used in window displays is adhesive vinyl decals. In many cases, vinyl decals my take the form of text of simple graphics that act as signage. Most places wishing to install vinyl decals in the window will contract a professional installation expert to insure that the graphics are level and correctly formatted.
Graphic lettering, though most often seen on signs and in other informative contexts, is also widely used for decoration and promotion. It is used in many different environments, from advertising to boats, both in interior and exterior conditions. Once simple and hand-made, many current graphic lettering installations feature complicated, computer-aided designed and implementation processes.
One of the most common uses for graphic lettering is to label a vehicle or room. Recent advances in vinyl and adhesive technology have made vinyl letter decals the most popular material for labeling jobs. Installing vinyl decals require few tools or complicated techniques and can be done by non-professionals on almost any surface.
Graphic Lettering Decals
Most graphic lettering decals have both backing paper and some kind of transfer film. Simply remove the backing paper to apply the decal. Many new kinds of vinyl feature pressure-sensitive adhesives that allow the installer freedom in adjusting the graphic before it is given the final, firm adhesive seal. The transfer paper remains on the decal to insure that the letters are still arranged properly during installation.
After affixing the decal to the vehicle's surface, you can remove the transfer paper, and the letters should stay adhered to the surface of the vehicle. Vinyl decals usually require little maintenance other than cleaning. Most vinyl used in graphic lettering jobs can withstand harsh weather for a number of years without fading or falling apart.
