If it’s a standard vehicle, we can use our library of scaled drawings for your design. However, if your vehicle is a little off-spec, pop down to our unit in Kidderminster to chat to the team. We’ll take photos and measurements so that our design team can mock up some design ideas.

Alternatively, send over your own measurements and photos.

Signwriting pays for itself.

We offer a wide range of graphic options to suit your budget.

Vehicle signage is round-the-clock advertising. Since vinyl decals can last for many years, you won’t be replacing yours for quite a while. Think of this as an investment in the future of your business, rather than an indulgence or expense.

Whatever goods or services you provide, unique vehicle graphics will put you ahead of the competition and help your brand stand out.

If you compare the cost of £500 signwriting to the cost of any other advertising then there really is no comparison. A vehicle on the road gets seen by thousands of other road users every day, 365 days a year. It is even working whilst you are off the the clock.

  • Metallic finishes
  • Glitter + holographic

What is printed vinyl?

Printed vinyl is exactly what it sounds like: inks are used to print a design onto clear or white vinyl. Printed vinyl is ideal for multiple colours, gradients, shading, photographs and complex illustrations. Due to the ink being on the surface of the vinyl, the colour can fade quicker than cut vinyl which has the colour throughout the material.

Cut Vinyl

Cut Vinyl

Cut Vinyl is best suited to simple designs, logos and lettering.
  • Fluorescent / Neon Colours
  • Metallic Finishes
  • Glitter + Holographic
  • Very small text and fine lines
  • Gradients
  • Photos
  • Grunge / Stamp Effects

What is Cut Vinyl?

A specialist machine follows the design using a sharp blade, which cuts out shapes and letters from pre-coloured rolls of vinyl. This gives a sharper edge to the artwork than printed graphics.

Cut vinyl decals have no background, the background that you see behind the cut vinyl design is what you install it onto, be that a bare coloured surface or pre-applied coloured vinyl.

Vinyl Specification: Cut Vinyl

Black & White available in 7 and 12 year+ if required.

Application

Printed vinyl is easier to install and will closely resemble what you think of as a “peel and stick” sticker.

Cut vinyl takes a little more time and patience to install. Multiple colours come in separate pieces which are then applied individually and might require being layered. Once installed it can appear to be hand painted.

Colour & Design

Printed vinyl can match colours from Pantone, RGB or CMYK references, and you can recreate photographic images, images with shading, or graduated designs. This means that you can create more complex designs.

Cut vinyl are cut from a limited range of pre-coloured rolls of vinyl. Detailed logos may need to be simplified for the cutter and thin lines may need thickening.

For cut vinyl decals, most designs are one solid colour. To create designs with multiple colours, different sections of coloured vinyl designs are layered together. This is a complex process and can be expensive to produce but make the finished design stand out a lot better from greater distances.

Finishes

Printed vinyl is laminated to either matte or gloss.

Cut vinyl has a more of a painted effect, because the vinyl is so thin that it looks seamless. Vinyl decals do not have a background because they are cut out, meaning that their background colour will simply be the surface behind them or pre-applied vinyl.

Cut vinyl comes in metallic and neon finishes. Including brushed, chrome and glitters.

Longevity

Printed vinyl is not as weather hardy as cut vinyl, and consequently is more likely to fade over time if it is in direct sunlight. However, the vinyl can be treated with laminate to protect it from these effects. However, the quality of the laminate varies between companies and poor quality laminate on top of high quality vinyl won’t help.

Cut vinyl  is more resistant to sunlight and less likely to fade than printed vinyl due to the colour being all the way through the vinyl and not just printed onto white/clear, meaning it is ideal to use for outdoor signs or on shop window displays and vehicles.

Removal

Printed vinyl is much thicker than cut vinyl and often laminated, so removal can be extremely difficult – especially after a few years of sun exposure. The vinyl becomes brittle and snaps easily as you try to peel it off.

Cut vinyl is thinner and although an edge is trickier to get started, they will continue to peel rather than snap like the printed vinyl.

Something to think about if you might be removing them yourself one day to sell your vehicle! (Though we do offer a vinyl removal service).
