Two Main Differences Between Vinyl Letters and Vinyl Decals

Vinyl Letters Vinyl Decals
- no background - with background
- typically solid in color - can be printed with absolutely any image or design

1. The most obvious difference you’ll see is that decals have a background and vinyl letters don’t. Each vinyl letter is contour cut out of a solid color roll of vinyl into individual shapes so there’s absolutely no background. That’s why vinyl letters are still so popular for lettering storefront windows, company vehicles, enclosed utility trailers, and interior walls. Of course, vinyl is not limited to just letters because we can just as easily provide any numbers, shapes, graphics, or logos you need for your signs in any size or color – all with the background removed.

2. The other main difference is that decals are printed directly onto the vinyl with weather-resistant ink. In fact, our full-color, high-definition printer is so versatile there’s no limit as to what we can print! For example, your vinyl decals can be printed with photographic quality pictures, multi-colored logos, and even three-dimensional letters sign. If you can see the image you want on your computer screen, we can print it!

But we don’t stop there because instead of a standard rectangle, our sign equipment can contour cut your decals into any custom shape giving you the best of both worlds – unlimited colors and shapes.

Two Factors to Consider When Buying Vinyl Lettering

When it comes to vinyl lettering, there are two big factors to consider: Coverage and UV Protection.

Coverage

“Coverage” refers to how much space the vinyl lettering takes up on your vehicle. We offer 3 types of coverage: low, medium, and high. (insert example images) Our vinyl lettering is designed to last, withstanding harsh outdoor elements. However, the degree of UV protection is up to you. We offer 4 different grades: standard, premium, ultra-premium, and reflective.

Grade Protection SPF Life Span (years)
Standard Medium 36 3
Premium High 60 5
Ultra-Premium Maximum 120 10
Reflective* Maximum 120 10

*Why get reflective? To advertise your business at night! Reflective vinyl letters are 74% brighter to the human eye than non-reflective signs. Reflective signs light up just like a STOP sign in headlights. If the vehicle in question is driven around often at night, you may want to consider this option.

“Do’s & Don’ts” of Car Signs and Automotive Graphics:

Whether you just want to add your web address on your tailgate or custom wrap the entire vehicle, there are some important things you should know about car signs. Here are a few tips of the trade to help you transform your vehicle into a mobile billboard.

DO combine the styles

For the best overall look, do a combination of both vinyl lettering and vinyl decals. Vinyl letters are typically solid in color and contour cut to remove the background. Usually, the name of the company, contact information, web or social media addresses, and tagline are done in solid color vinyl lettering. To add a little variety to the design of your cars signs, add a full-color decal – it can either be your company logo or a relevant graphic that shows prospective customers what kind of service or products you offer. The combination of colors and graphics in a well-laid-out design is both appealing to onlookers and maximizes the effectiveness of your custom car sign advertising!

DO step outside of the box

Spice up your lettering! Vinyl letters don’t have to be dull or boring. Vinyl comes in primary colors, pastel colors, and neon colors – you name it, you can order it! You can even get vinyl in metallic colors with brushed and polished finishes. If we don’t offer pre-colored vinyl in the exact color you want, we can print any color you want on white vinyl. The options for your signs are limitless, so you can think outside the box and get the color you want.

DO size your letters properly

While you’re designing your vehicle graphics, pay close attention to sizing. Make sure your letters are large enough to be visible to moving motorists. Stick with this formula: 1” lettering for every 10’ of distance. In other words, if you want your lettering to be visible from 30 feet away, shoot for 3-inch letters. Be sure not to add too many lines of text. When it comes to lettering your vehicle, less really is more. Keep your custom messages short and simple, and your contact information brief. The more there is to read, the less likely people will have time to read it.

DON'T forget about your windows

Use that window space with window decals! You can place custom-cut vinyl decals of your logo in your windows or cover them in a window perf. These thin, laminated sheets of vinyl allow you to display full-color graphics or photos across the surface of your windows without hindering your ability to see out of them. Plus, as an added benefit, window signs provide both privacy and shading from excessive sunlight. Don’t neglect your windows!

DON'T skimp on quality

Calendared vinyl is the most popular vehicle sign because it is the least expensive, but keep in mind this economy grade of vinyl is not made to last. If you want to reduce fading and shrinkage from the sun and inclement weather, go with a high-performance cast vinyl. The satin, shiny finish of your car sign will look great for years to come! And, if night visibility appeals to you, request the reflective grade of vinyl sign. That way, your vehicle graphics will work for you around the clock!

DON'T pay for installation

As mentioned earlier, vinyl lettering and decals are easy to install! Save yourself nearly 70% and order the vinyl package without the loaded sign installation fees. All you need to do it yourself is a simple sign application kit and a little patience. We’ve got you covered with easy-to-follow instructions and videos to help you do it like a pro sign installer.

Why Use Vinyl Lettering or Decals on Your Vehicle Signs?

Ever considered adding vinyl letters and decals to your company or personal vehicle? Many professionals consider it but are unsure if it's a good decision. Well, we think mobile marketing is a rock-solid business decision, and here are the 6 reasons why:

  • It's attractive. Are your eyes usually drawn to the window perf on the back windows of the commercial pick-up truck in front of you at the traffic light? Of course, they are! And you are not alone – most people are fascinated by well-designed window perf, vehicle wraps, and full-color vinyl decals. Vinyl letters by themselves are effective, but if you add some full-color graphics, you will draw attention to your brand everywhere you go. It's a fact that the use of photos in your signs creates a 300% greater recall than designs without photos.
  • It increases brand awareness. The more you broadcast your brand, the more people will come to recognize it. Having signage in your physical location is great, but using your vehicle to take that brand with you wherever you go is better. Take every opportunity to introduce who you are and what you do to prospective customers. Keep your logo and messaging in front of your market!
  • It's inexpensive marketing. Compared to other forms of marketing and advertising (both online and offline), vinyl letters and decals for your vehicle are relatively inexpensive. If you're working on a tight budget, vinyl is definitely the way to go! High-performance cast vinyl lasts up to 10 years outdoors – it holds up extremely well to weathering with minimal signs of fading or peeling. So, you can choose to pay for expensive advertising that runs for a short period of time, or for just a few hundred dollars, you can make a massive marketing impact consistently for up to 10 years.
  • It's a greater return on your investment. Vinyl lettering and decals, window perf, and car or truck magnets are all 24-hour marketing tools. Whether you are hanging out at your favorite sporting event on the weekend or parked in the parking lot of the local grocery store, those signs are working for you. Wherever you drive or park, your brand is on display! For the minimal cost, the return is immeasurable.
  • It's professional. Vinyl lettering and decals lend a sense of professionalism to a business. Think of the pest control trucks, the HVAC servicemen, the lawn care or cable guys that all show up for service calls? They all have branded vehicles, don't they? There's a certain level of trust that comes from knowing there's a legitimate, reputable company providing those services. Branded vehicles simply imply "professional"!
  • It's just downright smart. Vinyl lettering and decals come in virtually any color, size, and shape. The signs can be completely customized to your brand – your logo, your colors, your photographs, your fonts, and your personality. None of it has to be canned or templated! It's an opportunity to put YOU on display inexpensively, creatively, and professionally. Vehicle signs for advertising are just smart!

It has been said that 85% of your potential customers pass by your business each month. If that much of your business is driving around locally, mobile marketing is just a good decision! Branding your vehicle allows you to take your marketing with you everywhere you go. And the more you effectively market your business sign, the more you drive traffic back to your physical location.

Once you've put vinyl letters on for the first time, you may wonder how sign shops get away with charging so much for something that's so easy to do. It doesn't take a "professional" to look like one.

Excellence Guaranteed.
