Mistakes to Avoid in Decal Printing for Small Businesses
Share
Learn what to avoid when ordering decals for your business—common pitfalls like low‑res files, wrong materials, or poor installation.
Using Low-Resolution or Wrong File Formats
The most common mistake is submitting low-resolution images or non-vector files. These lead to blurry prints or pixelation. Always use vector artwork for crisp edges and clear visuals, especially for logos and type.
Choosing the Wrong Material for Your Surface
Not all vinyl works everywhere. Indoor vs. outdoor, glossy vs. matte, removable vs. permanent—all these choices depend on your environment. Picking the wrong material can result in peeling, fading, or cleaning issues.
Skipping Installation Best Practices
Even a beautiful decal can look sloppy if misaligned or bubbled. Always:
-
Clean and prep the surface
-
Use a squeegee to avoid air pockets
-
Work slowly, top-down, with a professional tool kit
Proper install makes the difference between polished and amateur.
