How do I apply wall stickers?

HOW YOUR WALL STICKERS ARE PUT TOGETHER

Your wall sticker is like a sandwich. On the bottom you have the backing paper. On the top you have the application tape. In the middle you have your vinyl wall sticker. Preparation Before applying your wall sticker to the wall it will be necessary to perform some initial preparation. This consists of two tasks. The first one is to ensure the wall surface is clean and free from any grime or grease. Do this by using a damp cloth. Dry the walls thoroughly after you have cleaned them. The second important preparation is to ensure the application tape is firm stuck to the wall sticker, otherwise the wall sticker will stick to the backing paper when the backing paper is removed. Therefore, press down firmly on the application tape by rubbling it with a squeege. If you do not have a squeege a credit card will suffice.

Step 1 Carefully peel back the top part (roughly 25%) of the application tape from the backing paper. Ensure that the wall sticker sticks to the application tape and not the backing paper. Step 2 Fold the backing paper back on to itself and stick the application tape (and wall sticker) to the wall while removing the backing paper from underneath. Rub the application tape and apply light pressure to ensure the application tape and wall sticker stick to the wall. Step 3 Remove the rest of the backing paper and after the entire wall decal has been applied press firm onto the application tape to ensure the wall sticker is firmly stuck to the wall. Leave for 15 minutes and then carefully remove the application tape, leaving the wall sticker on the wall.

How do I remove wall stickers?

Removing wall stickers is easy. All you need is a hairdryer that blows warm air, some time and a little bit of patience.

Step 1

Decide which corner you are to start with and heat the wall sticker with the hairdryer for between 30 and 60 seconds. This will loosen up the adhesive making the vinyl easy to remove from the wall. The objective is to heat the vinyl enough so that minimum amount of effort is required to remove the vinyl from the wall.

Step 2

Start peeling the vinyl from the wall. Keep on heating the vinyl with the hairdryer as you do this, ensuring the vinyl is always heated first before pulling away at the wall sticker. It is important to take your take and not to rush. You will find with a little heat the vinyl comes off easily. The temptation, however, is to pull the vinyl too fast once you see it come off easily. Avoid doing this and ensure you constantly heat the vinyl as you pull it off from the wall. This will avoid any paint being pulled from the wall and ensure that your walls remain in perfect condition.

Step 3

Stand back and view your clean walls. All ready to apply a new set of wall stickers perhaps?

I want stickers in a certain size to fit a top of a box. Should I order the size of sticker to fit the top exactly or slightly smaller?

To allow for easy applicaton it is recommended that your sticker is at least 2-3mm smaller (in both directions) than the top of the box.

I am interested in buying transparent stickers. Will the colours of my design be clearly seen?

Our full colour transparent vinyl stickers are not white backed behind the colours. This means they are only effective when placed on White, Silver or Light Grey surfaces. When placed on these coloured surfaces all the colours of the design will be clearly seen.

For what period of time does a removable vinyl sticker remain removable?

Our vinyl manufacturers state that our removable self-adhesive vinyl remains removable for up to 12 months. After that time these removable stickers tend to become like permanent vinyl and are more difficult to remove.
