Installing window graphics on your store front is a great and affordable way to advertise your business. There are a variety of different ways to produce window graphics, but four common methods are:
1.) Standard Cut Vinyl
2.) Layered Cut Vinyl
3.) Full Color Digital Print
4.) Full Color Digital Print on Perforated Vinyl
Standard Cut Vinyl window graphics are simple and usually use 5 or less standard colors. The vinyl is cut to the specified text or design and is applied onto the window. Please note that if the window is tinted then only light colors, like White, Yellow, Light blue, etc. should be used.
Layered Cut Vinyl window graphics represents a more advanced way to manipulate text or logos. This method requires two or three contrasting colored vinyls to be stacked on top of each other to create effects such as shadows or outlines. A recent project was a law office which required black and gold metallic vinyl graphics. You should note that metallic vinyl has a shorter lifespan (Fading over time) than regular vinyl. (Metallic Vinyl typically lasts 2-3 years while Standard /High Performance Vinyl will last 5-7 years.)
Full Color Digitally Printed window graphics are great to completely cover windows or glass doors. For this process a digital image, logo, design or text can be printed on a special printable vinyl and then installed to completely cover a window. You will not be able to see through your window once a digitally printed window graphic is installed.
Full Color Digital Print on Perforated Vinyl is a great way to completely cover your windows or doors and still see through them. For this process a digital image, logo, design or text can be printed on a special printable perforated vinyl which will allow you to see out but not in.
Having window graphics in your store front is a convenient way to show your customers where you are located, what your business offers and to showcase the products you supply.
