Yes. Because printed transfer decals are laminated and require precise cutting, certain artwork minimums apply. Lettering must be at least 0.7 cm (0.28 inches) tall at final print size.
Very thin lines, small details, or tiny floating elements may need to be adjusted to ensure proper production. If your design does not meet these requirements, our team will contact you with options before proceeding.
Printed transfer decals are designed for long-term durability. With proper application, they can last up to 3–5 years outdoors depending on exposure to sunlight, weather, and surface conditions.
The added laminate layer helps protect against UV fading, moisture, and scratches, making them a reliable choice for vehicles, windows, and outdoor signage.
Printed transfer decals adhere best to smooth, clean, non-porous surfaces where the adhesive can fully bond.
For best results, apply decals to a clean, dry surface. Rough, textured, or porous surfaces may reduce adhesion and overall performance.
The terms “transfer decals” and “transfer stickers” are often used interchangeably by different companies to describe the same type of product: a decal that is applied with transfer tape and has no background.
Printed transfer decals follow this same concept, but allow for full-color designs instead of single-color vinyl. Once applied, only the artwork remains on the surface, creating a clean, professional, background-free appearance.
This is different from standard printed stickers, such as die cut stickers, which are printed on vinyl and include a visible background or border that is cut to shape.
In short, “transfer stickers” is simply another name for transfer-style decals, while printed transfer decals refer specifically to full-color designs with no background.

To remove a decal, gently peel it away from the surface. Applying heat, such as with a hair dryer, can help soften the adhesive for easier removal. Any remaining residue can typically be cleaned with rubbing alcohol or an adhesive remover.
Yes, printed transfer decals are a popular choice for vehicle graphics, including windows, doors, and body panels. The durable vinyl and protective laminate make them resistant to weather, sunlight, and regular wear.
They are ideal for full-color logos, branding, and custom graphics that require a clean, professional, background-free appearance on vehicles.
Printed transfer decals are applied using transfer tape, which keeps your design aligned during installation. The decal is positioned on the surface, pressed firmly into place, and then the transfer tape is removed, leaving only the vinyl design behind.
