Frequently Asked Questions

Are your vinyl decals "static-cling-based" or "adhesive-based"?

Awareness Ideas - Energy Conservation, Business Conservation...
Our stock vinyl decals have an adhesive side that is easily exposed by pulling back on the back portion of paper. We do not use the cling method (for anything that isn't special order) as our standard decals last longer and are more permanent. The adhesive holds the decals as flush to the material as possible. Static cling decals are also available. Call us, TOLL FREE, for information on these and other options for decals. 800-875-1725.
