Outdoor Signs – Visibility of Letters, Amount of Copy, & Readability

June 5th, 2023
Banners

The letter height visibility, amount of copy needed, and readability in traffic of outdoor banners and signs.

Question: I need a banner that is visible from 150 to 200 feet away as cars are driving past my business. What letter height should I have on the banner to make sure passing motorists see my business’ banner?

This is a very good question that many graphic designers completely ignore in designing outdoor signs and banners, but is perhaps the most important question that you can ask. The other question that I would pair with this is, “How much copy can be read in that 150 to 200 feet.”

It is important to know how fast traffic moves by the banner or sign on your business,

How to remove decals from your walls without damaging the paint.

Question: What is the best way to remove a decal from my wall?

I’ve addressed this topic in the past, but it’s a good question and one I’m happy to answer again so you don’t have to try to find the answer in a past article, because, as we all know, the internet is a black hole time sucker.

First, although you didn’t specifically ask this question, let me say what I hope to be the case, and that is that you painted your own walls prior to apply the wall decals or stickers,

Options for Removable Double-Sided Decals and Stickers

June 1st, 2023
Decals

Easy to remove two-sided sticker decals in static clings for windows and Walls.

I hear it every day…the economy sucks. There’s less money to spend on necessities. Your price is too high. Etc., etc. Etc.

Yesterday a potential client called needing removable double-sided decals. Something that could be used universally on doors, windows, and walls. A fairly reasonable request on the face of it. Except for one thing. If you’ve been in this industry for over 20 years like I have, you know that double-faced stickers can, at this time anyway, only be screen printed. (If anyone knows of a digital decal material that can be printed on both sides that has a “no shadow” blockout layer,

How To Install Hood Decals Onto Your Car

Decals

The correct installation of hood decal graphics on vehicles.

Question:  Does anyone know the proper way to put a hood decal on?

Very carefully! Actually, the question should be “Did you purchase the right decal material, and if not, why not?” It is very important when dealing with large decals covering an area with multiple curvatures such as almost every part of an automobile that you use a decal material that is meant to be installed over this type of substrate.

1. Consider the type of decal you have.

If you purchased a decal made of a vinyl decal material that was intended to be installed on a flat surface such as a window or a flat sign face,

Decals

When to apply window and hood decals, before or after waxing the car? And, how soon can you wash or expose your car to rain after installing window decals?

Question:  Should I put a decal on the hood of my car before or after I wax it?

Yes. You can do either without any problems, although there are some who advocate stripping the car down and waxing it first because then, when you want to remove the sticker, it is not going to have an area that looks different from the waxed area where the decal came from.

Taking stickers off car window effectively, and where you can buy UV/Saltwater-resistant boat decals.

Question: There are a bunch of stickers on the windows of the car I just purchased. How do I get those off without damaging my “new” car?

Glass has one big advantage to many other surfaces. You don’t necessarily need to use heat to remove decals from it. However, you can use heat if you choose to, a hair dryer on high heat or a heat gun on low heat will both suffice.

However, I’ve removed thousands of stickers and graphics from vehicle windows as well as from storefront windows or the like,

Putting Decals on Tinted Windows, & Removing from Laptops/Metal Buckets

Decals

When to apply decals to tinted windows, and how to remove stickers from laptops and metal buckets.

Question:  Is it OK to put a sticker or decal on my rear car window before having the windows tinted.

It depends on which side you put the sticker on. Because window tinting is done on the inside of the glass, it would be a poor choice to put a sticker on the inside of the glass before the tinting is done. The person or company applying the window tinting will let you know how many days the tinting should be on the window before applying the sticker to the window.

The best way to stick a decal to a velvet surface. Can windshield wipers damage the rear window decal? Will removing a very old car sticker uneven the car paint? And, the right way to remove an auto dealer sticker from the trunk of a car without damaging its paint.

Question:  What is the best way to get a decal to stick to velvet? Will a decal or sticker work?

No, or at least none that I know of. Acrylic adhesives will adhere to the fabric somewhat, but not for long. And do NOT wash any fabric or garment EVER with an adhesive sticker,
