F.A.Q
What’s the difference
between die-cut graphics and a vinyl wrap? Firstly die-cut (or computer
cut) vinyl is done in layers of colours, the more colours required the more
required the more vinyl is used. These layers are then assembled in order to
make up a colour scheme or logo. It has excellent UV stability with 5 – 7 years
outdoor life. A wrap is digitally printed onto a single layer of vinyl, using
unlimited colours on the on layer. It’s UV stability is low only lasting 2 years
outdoors, however with the addition of a UV laminate this would be extended an
additional 2 years.
Will it hurt my
paint? A lot depends on the paintwork it’s being applied too, it will not
damage paintwork that has been professionally painted and baked. In most cases
our graphics and wraps actually protect you paintwork, similar to a paint
protection film.
How long does it
take? For die-cut graphics we generally will need the vehicle for 1 – 2
days, but for vinyl wraps we will require the vehicle for 2 – 4 days.
Is it difficult to
remove? Once again it depends of the quality of paintwork it was
originally put on to. Good paintwork will allow you to remove the quite easily,
die-cut graphics may leave some glue residue behind which is easily removed with
“Desolvit”, vinyl wrapping leaves no glue residue on
removal.
