A look behind the scenes: The fascinating world of vinyl stickers

Vinyl stickers are everywhere these days. From custom designs on laptops and cell phones to advertising banners and shop window displays, the use of vinyl stickers has increased dramatically in recent years. But how exactly are these colorful and versatile stickers created? In this blog post, we take a look behind the scenes and discover the fascinating manufacturing process of vinyl stickers.

Design and templates
The first step in vinyl sticker production is developing an appealing design. This often involves the involvement of professional graphic designers who take customer preferences and requirements into account. Once the design is complete, it is converted into a digital template, which is later used for printing.

Cut
The film is inserted into a cutting plotter, which precisely cuts out the design. Cutting plotters operate with great precision and allow for the creation of even complex shapes and contours.

Weeding and packaging
After cutting, the vinyl stickers are trimmed of excess material, also known as weeding. This process requires careful work to ensure only the desired design remains on the sticker. Once weeding is complete, the vinyl is coated with a clear transfer paper. This facilitates application and helps maintain the sticker's shape. The vinyl stickers are then sorted by size, shape, or design and packaged ready for shipping.
