What are white self-adhesive vinyl graphics?
Our self-adhesive vinyl graphics are made from a thin film. They are recommended for use on smooth, flat surfaces that have been properly prepared beforehand. The suitability for each vinyl will depend on the finish you are looking for, the application, and the amount of time intended for its use.
How big can you print vinyl graphics?
We can print any size you require, but it may be split into sections. How wide we can print in one piece depends on the material being used. The roll widths (at industry standard) are as follows:
- Premium High Tack (Mactac WW300) - 1350mm
- Standard Vinyl - 1350mm
- Easy Remove Vinyl - 1350mm
Please leave us a note if you have any preference on how we split your vinyl.
What wall surfaces are suitable for wall graphics?
Generally, self-adhesive wall graphics are recommended for use on smooth, flat surfaces that have been properly prepared beforehand. Some of our material offerings, such as Premium High Tack (Mactac WW300) may be more forgiving. Please contact us on 0800 612 9266 or email us at info@bigartandbanners.com if you’d like advice before placing your order, as we will be happy to discuss your surface area and desired outcome.
How do I order the correct size?
Simply measure the area you wish to fill and enter this on our website using your preferred unit of measurement. Please note, it is advisable to order your vinyl a few millimetres larger than you require in order to account for any surface deficiencies. You can then simply trim any excess that there may be once installed. We also advise that there may be up to a 3mm size tolerance on your finished vinyl. This can be due to a variety of factors such as trimming, temperatures, and lamination.
Why use white-backed vinyl graphics?
White-backed vinyl graphics are great if you want to cover up the surface where you are sticking the graphic (such as a scratched window or even an old rigid-board sign). White vinyl graphics are also the better choice when you want to print in full, solid colour without transparency showing through.
Can self-adhesive vinyl graphics be used outdoors?
Yes! Our vinyl graphics are weatherproof and printed with waterproof and scratch-resistant eco-solvent inks.
Can you custom cut an image?
Graphics can be contour cut to any shape from an .ai file containing your cut path.
Can you laminate my vinyl graphic?
Laminating your vinyl graphic can help protect it so it lasts longer. We offer four options for laminating: matt, gloss, and antimicrobial laminate.
