What Is Vinyl Lettering?
Vinyl lettering is made from durable, weather-resistant material and will last for years without fading or cracking. Vinyl lettering is typically applied to smooth, clean surfaces including windows, walls, doors, and vehicles. The vinyl material has adhesive on one side allowing it to adhere quickly and easily.
How Is Vinyl Lettering Made?
Vinyl lettering is made by first creating a stencil of the design. Then, the stencil is used to cut the vinyl into the desired shape. After the vinyl has been cut, it is peeled away from the backing paper and applied to the surface. In today’s computer world vinyl lettering signs can be designed using a sign design program coupled with a large format plotter that cuts precision letters from rolls of vinyl.
